The Spirituals transport the listener back to a time prior to the invention of the Blues or Gospel. This genre started on the enslavement ships, where the kidnapped Africans were brought in chains to the new world. The enslaved Africans were worked without mercy from birth to death. To alleviate the suffering and tremendous trauma they faced, they invented simple songs in the fields or they ‘spiritualised’ the European hymns they heard in and around the plantation.  These songs always promised a better tomorrow after death, or gave the enslaved listener and the enslaved singer hope to make it through another day.  Some of the songs have been handed down via oral tradition, and some of the songs as stated before have been reworked into an African centred way of singing. Angela has composed a modern day spiritual to honour the ancestors that have gone on before and the sacrifices that they made. The theme addressed by the Duo is highly relevant even in modern times. One example of relevancy is the great human suffering imposed on people who become victims of the modern day underground sex slavery and paedophilic trafficking rings. Both of the aforementioned conditions see human beings as a form of currency rather than people. Under such inhumane conditions, the danger of dying and or losing a loved one is still very real.  People enduring this level of diabolical wickedness still find the strength to move forward through faith and the belief in God; there is indeed hope for a better tomorrow. Amen
