Coro Gospel de Cuba
The project
Since March 2018 the project has been under intensive preparation under the umbrella of the Cuban Council of Churches (Consejo de Iglesias de Cuba - CIC). A national casting was successfully organised at the beginning of 2019. Deborah Woodson (Cologne and USA) could be won for the musical work. The result of an intensive preparation is the CORO GOSPEL DE CUBA.
15,000 people experienced the world premiere of Cuba's first gospel choir on 22 June 2019 in Dortmund at the German Protestant Kirchentag. During the subsequent concert tour through Germany, the choir was enthusiastic in all places.
In close cooperation between Cuban musicians, authors, arrangers, singers and international gospel experts, gospel songs are now being newly developed and interpreted in Cuban style.
An exciting process. The first steps have been taken.
