September 11, 2010. The pope's next trip to the United Kingdom will be unique. Not only is it Benedict’s first visit as pontiff, but it will be the first to be accompanied by a rap soundtrack.
The song, called "Heart's Cry", by Catholic group Ooberfüse, includes samples of the Holy Father’s voice.
The organizing committee for the Pope's visit decided on a selection of contemporary music for the prayer vigil, which will take place on Saturday 18 in Hyde Park. Finalists from Britain's Got Talent, including Liam McNally, will also perform.
The contemporary feel will also mark some of the proceedings in Glasgow, with Susan Boyle scheduled to perform a Bellahouston Park.
