Gospel River

Founded in the course of 2003, Gospel River is a cosmopolitan choir (Africa, West Indies, France, United States...) showing naturally that Negro spirituals and Gospel are not artistic expressions confined solely to North American territory.

Negro spiritual music finds its origins in the history of deportation and slavery of tens of thousands of Africans to the old continent. It was first the prohibition of speech that led Black slaves to stand in solidarity through Work Songs, straightforward songs composed of short and biting phrases without accompaniment. The “shouts” thus used fueled their Faith and dialogue with spiritual forces, whatever their original beliefs.
