Vibrant and breathtaking!
The Original USA Gospel Singers & Band captivates the audience!

With over 25 years of touring experience and more than a million visitors, the gospel group has already made an impressive mark! And the success story continues.
Not only did they please the audience at the venerable Scala in Milan, but they also performed for the Pope at the Christmas concert in the Vatican.
The African American gospel group, with a live band and a grand light and stage show, authentically brings the original feeling of black gospel culture and tells its story. From its origins to the present day, from Mahalia Jackson to James Cleveland. The ensemble features selected top singers, outstanding soloists, and musicians who offer everything that makes gospel so beautiful in a two-hour program: emotionality, spirituality, and pure joy of life.
The goal of each performance by the Original USA Gospel Singers is to bring people closer together through the immense spiritual power of the individual songs. An important part of every show is the active participation of the audience. Hand in hand, the spectators experience the power of real gospel music. The emotions awakened during the performance turn the evening into an unforgettable experience.

A typical feature of gospel singing is call-and-response, the alternating song between lead singer and choir, also known as "Call and Response." Another African-influenced element of gospel music is the uniqueness of African tonality. It is characterized by the pentatonic scale, which, in contrast to the seven-note system of European music, uses only five tones.
Later, heptatonic music also emerged in African American music, where the third and seventh, known as "blue notes," were added. These intervals continue to distinguish African and African American music from the European major-minor modality.
A final notable feature that can be traced back to the African roots of Negro Spirituals is the "timbre," the unique tonal quality of the voice in African singing. The singers develop a wealth of differentiation possibilities for individual tones. It is primarily about expressing one's personal mood. This leads to tones that can sound rough and hot, almost to the point of an unrefined scream, but can also be pleasantly soft and delicate to the ears.
