The group, conducted by renowned Peder Karlsson mostly performs well known pop songs as well as Slovene folk music and (country music) gospel songs which are arranged in different musical genres such as jazz, bossa nova, funk and swing. The group become internationally popular with their performance of the song Africa (by Toto) in which the choir uses thunderstorm simulation effects inspired by the Kearnsey College choir from South Africa.
