Praise the Lord! "Gospel Music in My Heart" by Aya Lamont
When I sing Gospel, my feelings become calm. I forget sadness, and happiness
floods my heart. When
I sing Gospel, I can meet with the One who is true. I feel the power of God when I sing a gospel tune.

Cocolo is a community Gospel choir established in the summer of 2000. The group was formed
out of the members' sincere desire to expand their knowledge of Gospel music and the faith that is its inspiration.
While the members are all from Japan, they come from different walks of life — college, business, teaching — yet
all come together with one voice to sing praises to the Lord. The members are very grateful to have found Gospel music
and they wish to share the joy, energy and strength that Gospel music imparts. Our musical director and spiritual leader
is Professor Gregory Hopkins from Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem, New York. His enthusiasm and boundless energy
always brings us together, providing us with new insight and renewed focus. 2000 年夏、当時ハーレムのゴスペル・ワークショップで歌っていた熱い日本人有志15人が独立結成したゴスペル・クワイア。黒人文化のメッカ、ハーレムのど真ん
