The standards for vocal harmony in black music with a spiritual vibe have been set by the likes of Take 6, Sweet Honey in the Rock and the UK’s own Black Voices.

Plankton have teamed up with The Mohabir Sisters to release their debut CD “Feel The Power” which is an album that would take its bow with any of the above.

Proving that contemporary gospel doesn’t have to sound like second rate R&B, the album neither loses its cutting edge tempo nor spiritual lyrics of hope and appreciation in the midst of a broken world. Ranging from the steady beat and familiar gospel lyrics, through driving tempo, haunting vocal performances and even calypso influences, the girls deliver a rich mix of sounds and emotions.

Dedicating the album to their late father Philip Mohabir who died in 2004, the girls embarked on the project in late 2005 having decided to undertake a project that would both honour the man who had been such a support and influence in their lives and also raise money for one of the many projects he pioneered and supported in his country of birth, Guyana.

The album is also dedicated to one of the girls - Anne, who sadly, and unexpectedly died shortly before the release of the album. The richness of her voice lives on in the wonderful “Shine On Me”

Singing together since they were old enough to string a sentence together their musical influences include Take 6, India Arie, Israel Houghton, CeCe Winnans, Fred Hammond, Mary Mary and Kirk Franklin.  They have performed in many countries - South and North America, Scandinavia, West Indies to name a few.

Whether listening to the CD or experiencing the girls live we are sure that we are all about to ‘feel the power’ of The Mohabir Sisters.
