Female voices from Africa, Britain and The Caribbean join together to celebrate the beauty of the human voice, in a collaborative project directed by Antoinette Lester where a female griot will link the music of the seven singers in a message of universal peace.

The singer and songwriter Maureen, popularly known as ‘Mama Zambia’ or ‘Aunty Maureen’, was born in 1967 in Lusaka, Zambia. Nawal originally comes from the Comoros Islands, located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa. Known as the “Voice of Comoros,” Nawal is also the first Comoran woman singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist to give performances in public, singing in Comoran, Arabic, French and English.

Since its inception in 1987, Black Voices has forged its own dynamic way of distilling and re-presenting a cappella black music from a Caribbean, black British perspective.
