On Saturday, December 16, the world-famous London gospel choir performed an exciting festive program in Liepaja’s “Lielais dzintars” concert hall. With their energetic performance, interspersed with touching songs, the collective invited the gathered to indulge in joy, love and unity not only by listening to music, but also by singing and dancing with the musicians, “Lielā dzintara” public relations specialist Anita Lazdeniece-Grīnberga informed the portal.
At the concert, the choir performed traditional and contemporary gospel songs together with the accompanying group of musicians, highlighting the strong voices of the singers in solo performances. The ensemble performed the beloved and popular Christmas song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”.
“The best thing about gospel choirs is the freedom to be spontaneous, to create music on the spot together with the audience,” choir founder and leader Basil Meade told the audience at the concert, who after this phrase invited everyone to get up, sing and dance along to Boney M. to the uplifting song “Rivers of Babylon”.
In this performance, the collective proved once again its ability to break the boundaries of the traditional gospel choir, raising hope and proposing true musical versatility.
