About event
'Concert de Nadal - Listen to the Music'
After their spectacular collaboration with Andrea Motis in the show To Amy, the Barcelona Gospel Messengers return to the festival for a Christmas concert that is also a tribute to some bands from the 70s that – they themselves explain – “became the indispensable accompaniment to the desire for change of young generations that were breaking definitely with the prevailing social and cultural conventions. Listen to the music, their album and the concert they present at La Paloma, is "a song to love and freedom, an energetic dedication to the joy of singing and making music together and a display of total passion when it comes to transmitting it and spreading it." The music of legendary groups such as Earth, Wind & Fire, Doobie Brothers, The Crusaders and the Electric Light Orchestra will be revived in La Paloma, then, with the signature arrangements of the Messengers: "Vitalistic, energetic, full of vocal and instrumental colors soaked in funk and even with touches of house music." A good Christmas gift, right?
