Clamo a Dios, al Altisímo

Abstract
This project, “Clamo Dios al Altisimo,” was unique in its collaboration because it is not often that someone such as myself will come from the United States to Spain and develop such a deep connection with a Gospel choir in Valencia. This was not only a collaboration with people from Spain, but it was an international merging of cultures through the many different sounds that my classmates and I brought from our different countries around the world. Through this deep connection, I was able to find more of my voice and my place within the music industry. I am able to now reflect on the experience of the joint collaboration concert with Coro Goria and Berklee Valencia. We were able to present Gospel music in a way that is not so common by incorporating the fusion of sounds from different influences of Black Gospel music, Latin American music, and of course music that is authentic to Spain. This moment was very impactful and it also left a lasting impression on the community of Valencia and people afar because the people of Spain really enjoy Gospel music. Many were able to connect with my colleagues and I with very open minds.
