The world music collab between six-member Ugandan band, Jehovah Shalom Acapella, and Jamaican-born and raised sisters, The Foster Triplets, is set to soothe souls for two nights in Mparntwe/Alice Springs.

Touring Australia, the Jehovah Shalom Acapella band says they can’t wait to share their musical blends of African rhythms and traditional gospel hymns with new audiences.

“Some of our most loved hymn renditions include Have a Little Talk with Jesus, Look and Live, What Can Wash, and Meet You in the Morning,” the band says.

“You can expect soul-stirring harmonies and inspirational performances that are both spiritually enriching and emotionally moving.”

Balancing the band’s baritone sounds on stage, The Foster Triplets – Malaika, Mahari, and Mikaili – shine with soprano melodies as part of the dynamic show. The sisters say they found gospel music early in life as part of their upbringing in Jamaica.

“Our home was always a place filled with heavenly melodies [and] our parents would play us classical and gospel music ... this, no doubt, has influenced our love for music.”

Performing collectively, both groups say the idea for the concert was a natural step forward with both their music and ongoing charity work aligning.

“We previously worked on a virtual charity project [and] … brought together by a shared mission to spread gospel, positivity and hope through music,” they say.

Head along to enjoy soulful sounds in a special performance, sure to bring pure joy to the room. Oh, happy day!
