Journey
Founded by siblings Nkululeko and Vicky Vilakazi, the Soweto Spiritual Singers, under Vilakazi Entertainment Group, are a 15-vocal ensemble with dancers and a 5-piece band. Formed to celebrate South Africa’s “Unity in Diversity,” they fuse traditional culture with energetic performance. They performed “Sign of a Victory” with R. Kelly at the 2010 FIFA World Cup and recorded for "The Lion King" Broadway and film soundtracks, as well as "The Woman King." They have collaborated with PJ Morton, Jonathan Butler, and Lebo M, joining them on stage at "Lebo M Live" in Cape Town. They’ve graced major festivals, including Edinburgh Fringe, Festival Off Avignon, and The Experience Lagos, and performed at the Commonwealth Games and Halal Afrika. Awarded Best Group at the Crown Gospel Awards and SAMA-nominated, their sound has traveled across Africa, the UK, and Europe, lifting audiences with harmonies rooted in spiritual tradition and national pride.
