Gospel Music Galore

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Gospel music has been around since the early 50's. It is written and sung to express and proclaim Christian beliefs. Its music has been used to propagate peace and the word of God. This type of music has many roots that influenced it sound.

In its early phase country music and blues has music is the most evident form that can be heard in its notes. Some of the conservative Christian groups still do not want to accept this but basically it proclaims the same message only in different style. It has evolved too many forms basically because the artist are moving forward with time. It already has Rap gospel music and Rock Gospel Music.

We love to pray it is our life. They say that you pray twice when you sing praise and worship songs to God. And for Christians prayer is a way of life. We always want to talk to God. Listening to Gospel music gives its listeners a different high; it is known to lift its listeners to a different state.

I am also currently playing secular music in my other band, but to play Gospel music is my passion and this gives me a different kind of satisfaction. I think because I am singing and making music for a higher purpose. I have been playing in our church band and I have enjoyed it in a different levels. For one it joins me with my creator and helps me propagate his words through one of the most effective mediums which are music.

It is always fulfilling to listen to good traditional Gospel music. Come and join us in Mountain View this coming August of 2009 and share a blessed time with us. Proclaim God's message while communing and sharing time with him. You will be joining a group of people where you can share praise and worship.
