Stanford Talisman is a student group of singers at Stanford University, dedicated to sharing stories through music. Started in 1990 by Stanford student Joseph Pigato their roots are in music from South Africa and the African diaspora, but they have since broadened their horizons to include music from all over the world.. Although an a cappella group, they sometimes incorporate drums and dancing into their music. They perform not only locally in the greater San Francisco Bay Area but also around the world. Their most recent tour was to South Africa in the spring of 2013. The group also traveled to New Orleans and Atlanta in 2009 and in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.singers.com/collegiate/talisman.html )〕 The group won the 1997 ICCA competition and notable performances include the 1996 Olympic Games, the White House,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Stanford Magazine )〕 with 10-time Grammy award winner Bobby McFerrin in 2005,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://voice.paly.net/node/16274 )〕 and with Seal in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://news.stanford.edu/thedish/?p=225 )〕 Their musical repertoire includes "One by One," "Lift E'vry Voice" (the Black national anthem), "Baba Yetu" (featured on the video game Civilization IV), Sweet Honey in the Rock's "Wanting Memories," a powerful Native American chant "Wahjeeleh-Yihm," and the traditional spiritual "Amazing Grace."
