A few days after winning a photo contest, a friend gave me a gift. This time it was not a bunch of flowers, but a Christian album: Emmanuel: God with us, in french "Emmanuel, Dieu avec nous".
The cover is quite impersonal and the nationality of the artists can not be determined from the first glance.
I had to read the names on the back of the album cover to realize that I was dealing with africans. The truth is that even the voices of the singers are not very close to what we are used to hear here.
A good thing is the presence of a small booklet with the lyrics in the jacket. Few artistes are doing the same. Relying on the fact that they do not even have a website where you can find their texts, the fan is condemned to lie against his will.
Another good point is that the group has a website that, in addition to being beautiful, gives much information about it. All this made me want to learn more and David Oyoua, the mind behind the project, was more than happy to enlighten me.
Emmanuel, the real story of Christmas is originally a musical explaining the birth of Jesus Christ. Therefore there is more than twenty titles exploring the mysteries of the Incarnation, the Nativity and the kingdom to come.
Emmanuel, God with us, is an album of 10 songs, from the musical.
