IMMA presents the African Gospel Choir Dublin for an afternoon of music as part of the Winter in Dublin programme. This ensemble of over 15 volunteers skilfully blends elements of African gospel, Negro spirituals, acapella and American popular music. Founded in 2008 by Adeniyi Allen-Taylor, the choir’s love of music and joy for life illuminates through their music; they are known to delight audiences with repertoire sung in English and their native languages. The performance at IMMA will feature six singers accompanied by a pianist and will take place in the Main Reception.
AGCD have previously recorded film soundtracks and choral music for both Irish and international artistes. Additionally, the choir has performed at various concerts including Mela Festival, World Gathering of Families, Oba Nla Concert, Sounds of Afrika-Heilbronn Germany, and has just recently performed at Áras an Uachtaráin for the President of Ireland
The mission of the African Gospel choir Dublin is to make music with a purpose – to bring people close to the Lord. The choir showcases and helps develop the talents of young African singers in Ireland, while also presenting to the world the richness in the voice and melody of an all-African choir. Their main goal is to inspire and influence people positively and to promote gospel music through African culture.
