When it comes to singing Africa, especially Southern, can reach with singing all the sounds of the earth.  Dynamic, colorful costumes, rhythmic, with rich harmonies and dancing performance, all these adjectives can be used to describe Soweto Gospel Choir. They were formed in 2002, as a cultural embodiment of post-apartheid South Africa.

Their musical expression is a combination of African spiritual music, rhythms tribe, reggae and American pop music. Group has so far held several world tours. Their albums “Blessed” and “African Spirit” won Grammya for the best traditional world music albums in 2007-and 2008.

The group receives excellent reviews from almost all countries around the world in which they performed, so Peter Burdon (Australia) said “Vibrant, radiant, majestic…inspired and inspiring music, boldly performed…”, Adrian Chamberlain (Times Colonist - Canada) states that “Soweto Choir offers glorious gospel revival”. After the concert in Edinburgh Sue Wilson said “… a truly otherworldly sound that literally takes the breath away …dazzling”.

Does someone needs  better invitation to this concert as these reviews?

Ticket price ranges from 100 kn up to 140 kn

In the Great Hall on 28^th October you can hear Platinum ABBA. The band was established in 1997 in the UK with only one purpose: to become the best ABBA tribute band in the world and according to London Evening Standard they are the best and most authentic ABBA tribute which you can find.

The real ABBA originate from 1966 and it got the glory with the hits like “Waterloo”, “Money Money”, “SOS” and “Mamma Mia”, but even after 25 of breakup the popularity is not sinking. A fact which is proving their reputation is that next year they will have they own museum, and that they have sold 370 million plates around the world.

Platinum ABBA is not some average tribute band, they do not look and play just as the real ABBA, but they also have live performance, with all instruments and without backing recordings.

The tickets you can buy at Lisinski and they range between 160 and 200 kn.
