I sing in a group called SomGospel, we are 40 people. The type of music that we do is what the africans slaves sang.
Last Friday we started a gospel workshop with Moisès Sala, the director of the catalan group The Gospel Viu Choir. We met with Moisès lot of years ago, when we did some workshops with him in Sant Lluis.
The workshop was on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, with another 50 people who signed up to sing with us.
The cause of this workshop and the concert was to help to the children with cancer of Baleares, ASPANOB, organized by Rotary Club Mahón.
SomGospel and the workshop sang in the Teatro Principal, in Mahón, and it was full of people dancing at the rhythm of our songs and clapping with us. The Mayor of Mahon also attended the event, along with other authorities.
First of all, SomGospel we sang 16 songs that we were practising during lot of months for this day, and then we put some coloring hats because that’s a symbol, for who the people of Aspanob saw that we support them.
When we finished our songs, the 50 people of the workshop came to sing with us some songs that we learned with Moisès. We were around 90 people singing.
It was a beautiful, magic, excelent, emotive and solidary concert to remember.
