Inofficially we met with a new youth choir yesterday. They are in Erkrath, close to Düsseldorf, and have only existed for a few weeks. They have two songs in their repertoire, "Give my praise" and "My father", and we got the opportunity to sing together with them at their rehearsal. They are called Praise Time, and we hope to hear more from them in the future!
The concert tonight in Kassel is sold out. Great for us, but sad for the people who will not be able to come in because they don't have a ticket.
About Praise Unit
- Praise Unit
- Founded 2004 by Joakim Arenius who just left his position as director of Europe's oldest gospel choir, Joybells. The singers and musicians are united by the vision to spread the word about a loving and living God through music that is rooted in the old african american gospel music, but performed and inspired by the modern r'n'b you hear on radio, the funky grooves you nod your head to when you turn up your car stereo, the beautiful melodies you enjoy on a comforting CD and the wild beats you dance to in the urban clubs. The first CD "Whole" was released in 2006. In 2008 came the Live DVD "the Whole tour" which was filmed by German television during Praise Units touring in 2008. In June 2009 Praise Unit will release "the Mission Field".
