Voices of Praise a unique approach in France is opening doors and paving the way in the field of modern music, under the artistic supervision of the American singer Monique Thomas.
Far from the outdated cliches of the gospel choirs with robes, VOP offers a smaller band with 4 singers and 3 musicians. and a thoroughly innovative approach to Gospel. With a modern orchestration, directly linked to the blues, funk and R'N'B cultures, and an original repertoire, VOP takes you directly to the pews of a Harlem church nowadays

"This formation adapts some of the
gospel staples (Thomas A. Dorsey,
Mahalia Jackson, James
Cleaveland) but also some more
modest arrangements (Kirk Franklin,
Yolanda Adams) and some original
adaptations of negro spirituals.
Inspired by their deeply rooted
gospel culture, V.O.P. integrate all
the elements of this tradition in a
repertoire that takes you directly to
the pews of a Harlem church." -
Jazzman
