Plague Songs


Plague Songs is an album of songs about the ten Plagues of Egypt described in the Book of Exodus performed by various artists.
The songs were originally commissioned by the British arts organisation Artangel for its project The Margate Exodus, which centres on a one-day event that took place in Margate on 30 September 2006.
