Description
Choir is a fusion of singing, faith, community, and tradition that resonates with many of us. In this episode we've orchestrated a vibrant discussion around reviving choir traditions, the undervalued power of corporate singing, and the intricate challenges choir directors confront in today's ever-evolving world, particularly in the wake of a pandemic that left many choir rooms silent. We enrich the conversation with hymn highlights and thought-provoking queries that peel back the layers of this communal art form's impact on the fabric of society, Joined again by Disney's "Encanto" multi-talented artist Adassa, we step into hers and husband Gabriel's personal lives where music isn't just a passion—it's the foundation of family. With Gabriel, not just her partner in life but also a driving force in the music industry, we peel back the curtain to reveal what it's like orchestrating the symphony of two music careers. They share tales from the heart about their serendipitous meeting, their journey to become a creative powerhouse, and the profound moments that remind them of why unity,  trust, and Christ are at the core of both family and professional pursuits.  As the final notes of our discussion fade, we express our deepest gratitude to Adasa and Gabriel for their inspiring stories and the wisdom they've shared about intertwining scripture with art. It's a tapestry woven with the threads of personal values, the resonance of choir music, and the spiritual sustenance it provides. The music backdrop is from their latest release "In Jesus We Are One" featuring Adassa on vocals, and each song carrying a message of divine hope and unity, available for your listening pleasure across all music platforms. So, take a moment to relish in the sounds that bind us and the profound narratives hidden within their songs and story. http://adassa-official.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHMxhvHLK9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb6biETgTBo https://music.apple.com/us/album/in-jesus-we-are-one/1700334364 https://music.apple.com/us/album/carol-of-the-christ-single/1712949639 Perpetuating and Promoting the Christian and Positive Idea Through the Medium of Music and Other Arts.
