ABOUT US

We are a Gospel choir from Navarra that emerged in 2006 from a popular initiative. Our name, a combination of ‘A capella’ in Spanish and ‘Alaitasuna’ in Basque (which means “Happy”), tries to capture that spirit of fraternity and love for music and singing.

We feel that Black Spirituals and Gospel songs allow us to share an emotional expression of our voice.

This spiritual music originated in the time of slavery and has been a collective song that has crossed borders making it possible for us to identify with and perform. Gospel music today is timeless and interracial.
