About us
In Argentina, since the 1930s many styles within the Gospel and Negro Spirituals have been performed.
The Boulevard Gospel Singers is a small vocal group that recreates a specific period of this genre: the one of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s Southern churches both rural and urban, white and African-American.
On the Roads of the Gospel, the choir's new album is a trip through the sounds, rythms and stories of the Gospel and Negro Spitirual: in a natural, spontaneous, with no staging nor religious praise.
It is an attempt to show the clear-cut folk roots of the music we love. We try to go back in time to recover the values, the essence and the seed of the Gospel so we can honor and pay tribute to the true masters that passed on these wonderful works.
