The group was formed more than thirty years ago as a vehicle to not only showcase the vibrant intricacies of African choral music and dance, but to raise funds for hunger relief and to support other non-profit programs including education and health care. Music for Life, the parent organization for the African Children's Choir, works to provide relief in seven countries: Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana, South Africa, and Sudan.
The program features a mixture of well-loved children's songs, traditional
spirituals and favorite gospel numbers.
