Harlem & The Rise Of Gospel Music Walking Tour

Przegląd
The tour is conducted by a New York City licensed tour guide. We offer this tour in French or English. Our tour guides are native speakers if each languages. In this tour we will visit 9 landmark sites which include the first Black Episcopal, Methodist, Pentecostal, and Baptist churches. We will examine their history, their leaders, and their role in the anti-slavery movement as well as the civil rights movement. This tour also looks at the role of Gospel music in the history of the Black church. We will study its growth from the ring shout (the foundation of all African American music), to the Spirituals, the role of the Protestant hymnals, ending with what became known as Gospel Blues, today simply called Gospel music. The tour ends with a visit to a church service where we will listen to a live Gospel choir, it is not a concert but a real church service.

Kaissa, our Guide has been great. Passionate about music and history, she explains where the Gospel comes from, makes us listen to songs and even sings us some. His voice is just beautiful. I recommend this tour (even in the rain we did)

The visit to Harlem would not have had the same flavor without our exceptional guide Kaissa! Imbued with music, stories and an exceptional voice, this morning was a moving and instructive joy. Kaissa transmits a culture in an emotional and empathetic way and that makes it all the more interesting. I recommend 150%

Kaïssa was our tour guide. She told the story of gospel music in a very exciting way and sang songs now and then. What an incredible voice! Fantastic! The service was like in a film, but you should be aware that 90% of the participants are tourists.
