The Alabama Gospel Choir has become something of a Christmas “classic”, regularly coming to Spain and to Majorca at this time of the year.
The choir consists of twenty artists who capture the history of Gospel through a journey to the roots of this music in spirituals of the nineteenth century and to protest songs and marches for freedom. The choir has been touring the US and Europe for many years as ambassadors for gospel music.
The repertoire includes ‘Oh Happy Day’ and the likes of ‘When the Saints Go Marching On’. Vitality and spirituality combine with funk and blues, and the choir’s songs convey messages of peace and solidarity, very much in keeping with the sentiments of the season.
