Yoann Fréget - "Elijah Rock" (Gospel from Mahalia Jackson) - NEW! - HD (select "1080p")

Cloture du Montpellier Gospel Festival, le 29 décembre 2010. Basse : Fred Bidou; Batterie : Quentin Boursy; Piano : Julien Ascencio; Chant : Yoann Freget

Yoann Fréget has been singing since his childhood. At the age of fifteen, he discovered the Gospel music, attending a concert of "GOSPELIZE IT! MASS CHOIR", composed of 70 singers directed by Emmanuel Djob, a singer and composer from Cameroun, renown in Europe ("Black an' White Gospel singers", "By the Gospel River").

A few months later, he joined this Gospel Choir, where he stayed for three years, and quickly became a soloist, singing alone the song "Amazing Grace" at every concerts. He started then to gain a deeper understanding of the essence of African-American music. He clearly felt that the Power of this music comes from a tremendous Love, able to dissolve all the artificial barriers between human beings such as race, religion, or nationality.

Subsequently, Yoann sang with several Soul, Rythm' an' Blues and Gospel bands, among many :

- « TRIBUTE TO OTIS REDDING » (« BRBB »), (singing as soloist);
- « TRIBUTE TO STEVIE WONDER », (as soloist as well);
- « THE SOUL TRAVELLERS GOSPEL QUARTET » (soloist and chorist);
- « GOSPEL SHAKERS », a male Gospel quintet (soloist and chorist);
- « GOSPEL JAM », performing in duet with a sweet and authentic Gospel lady coming from Togo, Sabine Kouli ("Maezah" and "Soul Spirit") ;
- « GOSPEL POUR 100 VOIX », (singing there as soloist and chorist again). One of the most famous Gospel formation in France, composed of 100 singers, playing in the biggest french stages (Zéniths, Paris Bercy, ...) and directed by Jean Carpenter ; etc...

Yoann also had the honor to perform as back vocalist for artists such as Stevie Wonder, Liz McComb, Helen Carter, or Marianne Aya Omac (ex "Ginkobiloba"), in her latest album , "Be my witness"...
