Joyous Celebration hits local cinemas from 27 April 2018.
Joyous Celebration
MTN Joyous Celebration is a gospel choir group which formed shortly after South Africa achieved its democracy.
The choir have since released twenty-four live albums and have broken boundaries in the South African recording industry in terms of live DVD releases. The group have garnered scores of fans from across the African continent and internationally due to the success of these releases.
Joyous Celebration’s most recent album released in March 2018 is called ‘Joyous Celebration 22: All for You’. The album was recorded live in Johannesburg at the Sandton Convention Centre.
Joyous Celebration on the big screen
In commemoration of their great success, Joyous Celebration have signed up for a one-of-a-kind project.
According to Joyous Celebration co-founder Jabu Hlongwane, this will be the group’s “most ambitious project yet.”
From 27 April 2018 Joyous Celebration will grace the cinema screen nationwide. NuMetro cinemas has described the project as:
“Highlighting 14 tracks from the ‘Joyous 22’ album, re-edited and mastered for the cinema release, this high-quality movie vividly captures their majestic voices and signatures moves that have become synonymous with the ensemble – leaving the audience feeling as if they are live in concert.”
The film will showcase the 32-person choir alongside a 12-piece band. Joyous Celebration’s unique assemblage of traditional and contemporary hymns will therefore become accessible to a whole new set of audience members.
The film was directed by Di Rosen and Johan van der Colff.
