Barcelona Gospel Messengers
By Charlotte Stace
Get swept up in the powerful sound of the Barcelona Gospel Messengers, a choir that brings the uplifting spirit of gospel music to life. Drawing from a deep tradition of spirituals and contemporary gospel, their performances promise to get everyone in the audience singing and clapping along.
Following their spectacular collaboration with Andrea Motis on the show To Amy, the group comes to the city as part of Festival Jazz Barcelona the for a special Christmas concert paying tribute to the revolutionary bands of the 70s - groups who, as they note, “became the indispensable accompaniment to the yearning for change of young generations breaking with social and cultural conventions.
”Listen to the Music, the album and concert they present at La Paloma, is their “song of love and freedom”: a celebration of togetherness featuring their signature arrangements of classics by Earth, Wind & Fire, The Doobie Brothers, The Crusaders and Electric Light Orchestra.
