Sacred Journey: CD / DVD
Sacred Journey, the remarkable live CD/DVD combo was recorded and filmed live at the 600 year old West African slave prison known as Elmina Castle in Cape Coast, Ghana in the Summer of 2007.

Making of the DVD
One of the most exciting aspects of the “sacred journey” to Ghana was the Elmina Castle performance. Sunrise Music Group provided the crew and equipment for this recording project. Some of the challenges encountered by Producer Susan Bowman and Producer/Director Robert Swope included the sound from the crashing ocean waves. We were able to complete the project satisfactorily.
Scholarship Fund
The Fisk Jubilee Singers represent a group of young men and women who attend Fisk University and have made a commitment to continue the rich legacy, which was started in 1871. Financial support is needed in order to continue assisting these students as they prepare for their individual professional goals. The purchase of this CD/DVD combo will help generate funds for the scholarships.
