An award-winning African gospel collective, Spirit of Praise is the flagship concept of Spirit Music Group, a Johannesburg-based music production and distribution company. Comprised of some of South Africa's foremost gospel artists, the project is a showcase for the company's myriad soloists and vocalists.

Commencing in 2008 with a two-volume set of material recorded live at the Pretoria State Theater, Spirit of Praise has gone on to release several volumes in the series and has earned multiple Crown and South African Music Awards. Notable artists who have lent their talents to the project include South African gospel legends such as Benjamin Dube, Zaza Mokheti, Tshepiso Mpotle, Omega Khunou, and Papane, and newer artists like Tshepang Mputhi, who made her debut on 2018's Spirit of Praise 7. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
