Black Voices was established in 1988 in Birmingham, and is a female performance company and quintet who "sing in oral tradition". All five members started their singing careers in the black churches and have a thorough grounding in the music of a black international community. Spirituals, gospel, reggae, blues, jazz, traditional African and Caribbean music and original contemporary compositions by group members are delivered with a sense of feeling and understanding that touch every audience. Crossing language and cultural barriers, the music of Black Voices is powerful and uplifting, emotional and inspiring. Black Voices have performed for Nelson Mandela in South Africa and London. They have toured Africa and the Caribbean, have performed with Ladysmith Black Mambazo and have appeared on numerous television and radio programmes nationally and internationally. Join them in a celebration of the powerful human voice. Their music is available on five CDs and future plans include tours of Canada and the USA.

Black Voices are experienced in undertaking educational and community work and can offer schools concerts, family concerts or short workshops or demonstrations either on the day of the concert, or on other occasions.

"Black Voices reminded me that the best musical instrument is the human voice." - the late Bernie Grant MP.
