Stanford Talisman is a student a cappella group 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.[1] They perform not only locally in the greater San Francisco Bay Area but also around the world. Their most recent tour was to Mumbai and Udaipur, India, in spring of 2019.[2][better source needed] The group has also traveled to South Africa (2016) and Hawai'i (2018).[citation needed] The group won the 1997 ICCA competition [3] and notable performances include the 1996 Olympic Games,[4] the White House,[5] with 10-time Grammy award winner Bobby McFerrin in 2005[6] and 2019,[7] with Seal in 2009,[8] with Joan Baez in 2019,[9] annually at Stanford Graduation Baccalaureate,[10] and their sold-out 25th Anniversary Show in Bing Concert Hall in 2015.[11]
Their musical repertoire includes their arrangements of "One by One" by Lebo M., "Lift Ev'ry Voice" (the Black national anthem), "Baba Yetu" by Talisman alumni Christopher Tin (a song featured in the video game Civilization IV), Sweet Honey in the Rock's "Wanting Memories," a compilation of the two songs "Hawai'i '78" and "E Ala E"] performed by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, and the traditional spiritual "Amazing Grace."[citation needed]
Talisman has released eight full-length albums as well as a 10-year anniversary compilation entitled "Shine," and a 20-year compilation, "Twenty," and two five-song EPs.[12][non-primary source needed] The group was featured on the 1997 Best of Collegiate A Cappella compilation,[13] and has received recognition from CARA, most recently in 2004, winning "Mixed-Group Album of the Year" for Watch Me Fly.[14]
