Tensta Gospel Choir was founded as a cultural integration project, and quickly became a nursery for gifted singers. Artists such as Lykke Li, Mapei and Sabina Ddumba are among the Swedish stars to have taken their fledgling vocal steps in the choir. No wonder Swedish pop is known for its sing-along refrains!
