Tonight Coro Gospel de Madrid has a concert in a nigerian church here in Madrid. We rehearsed for the concert during the past days and I am pretty sure it will be an intense experience. Madrids gospel choir is directed by Nancy from the USA, the singers are spanish, the church is nigerian and I am from Sweden. You never know what happens when people from many parts of the world come together.
On top of this my friend Anna from Sweden is here right now, giving song classes and also working with Madrids gospelchoir. Anna directed Joybells, the same gospel choir I used to direct, and she has been in Spain many times to inspire singers and choirs. It's great to work together for a weekend! She will also follow us to Valencia for a few days.
Nancy has taught me many things about what it is like to come to Spain from another country and work with music. We have also spoken about how different Madrid is from other cities in Spain. To me it seems a bit like Madrid is like New York in the USA or Berlin in Germany -a huge city which is like a country inside the country, with its own ideas of culture, politics, religion and so on. An example of the difference is that in Madrid most choirs sing in english, but in the other cities almost every choir I meet sings in spanish.
If you are in Madrid today come to Iglesia Bride of Christ Alcala at 19.00 and enjoy the concert!
