South Africa's Grammy-winning choir Soweto Gosepl Choir once featured U2's Bono on their One track from their African Spirit album. This time, they are teaming up with U2 for some sound bites, or "inserts" about South Africa that will be used in ESPN's coverage of the World Cup. They also both performed at South Africa's anti-AIDS 46664 Concert benefit in 2003.

Listen to some Soweto Gospel Choir songs at this link.

Here is some more info from ESPN

Commencing June 11, the network’s coverage will use specially recorded music by Soweto Gospel Choir recorded and filmed in South Africa, with music and live concert footage from U2’s record breaking concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., in October 2009. This collaboration will appear in every program throughout ESPN’s presentation of the 2010 FIFA World Cup including soccer highlights, match and studio coverage.

In the shadow

Verse
I know a place I can always run to
In times of distress confusion and fear
When my enemy surrounds me
I know I'm safe, for you keep me
And hide me in the shadow of your wings
I know a place I can always run to
In times of distress confusion and fear
When my enemy surrounds me
I know I'm safe, for you keep me
And hide me in the shadow of your wings

Chorus 2x
In the shadow of your wings
I know I am safe
In the shadow of your wings
I find relief, for you hold me
You will hold me and guide me

Namhla Nkosi (Joyous Celebration)

2x
Namhla Nkosi ngiyamangala
Umangibheka emuva
Kube wena wawungenami
Ngabe ngasal' endleleni

Nkulunkulu uthado lwakho
Kithina bantu lukhulu
Wanikela ngendodana
Halleluya siyabonga

Namhla Nkosi ngiyamangala
Umangibheka emuva
Kube wena wawungenami
Ngabe ngasal' endleleni

Sangena lapho kuthiwa
Ongene khon' akaphumi
Saphuma lapho kuthiwa
Akuphunywa akuphunywa
