OSLO GOSPEL CHOIR: 20 YEARS 20 SONGS

FXCD 344 (double CD)

Twenty years ago Tore Aas advertised in two Norwegian newspapers looking for people who wanted to join a new choir in Oslo. The response was phenomenal. More than 300 aspirants came to the audition, and from them 32 singers were selected. The audience response after their first concert was overwhelming, leading to a series of TV performances and concerts. The choir has since released 15 records, given around 500 concerts, and participated in 20 other recordings for Norwegian and international artists. Several of the choir members have also established their own solo careers. Oslo Gospel Choir was the best-selling Norwegian artist in the 1990s, with more than one million sold albums. They have four gold albums and one platinum album. Inspired by traditional American gospel, we are sure that Oslo Gospel Choir will sing to the great pleasure of listeners for many years to come. "20 years 20 songs" offers 20 of their best songs since their marvellous debut.

Some of the album highlights include "Oh, happy day", "Get together", "We are not ashamed", "Born again" and "His name will shine".
