South Africa's Soweto Gospel Choir is looking forward to making space for another award in its already crowded trophy cabinet. The world-renowned singers have been nominated for a Grammy Award for their fifth album, Grace, in the Best Traditional World Music Album category.

It's the group's fourth Grammy nomination in five years. The albums Blessed and African Spirit won Grammys for Best Traditional World Music Album in 2007 and 2008 respectively.

Grace, released on the Universal Music label, was produced by Robin Hogarth and Zwai Bala, and directed by Lucas Bok, Vusi Shabalala and Diniloxolo Ndlakuse, working with engineer Richard Mitchell.

Other nominees in the category vying for the statuette are the Gyuto Monks of Tibet; Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba and Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté, both from Mali; and Vayo from Uruguay.
