Miami Vineyard LIVE Review & Giveaway

Back in January, I was blessed with the opportunity to review and give away a copy of Vineyard Music's I Love Your Presence worship CD. Now, I am even more blessed to review and giveaway another of Vineyard Music's CD's, Vineyard Miami LIVE. This CD is one that will lift you off your feet and dance!

About Miami Vineyard LIVE (released 10/18)
What happens when a group of 20+ musicians and 10+ songwriters steeped deep in their own musical traditions of Black Gospel, Latin, Caribbean, and Anglo come together to create a new tradition and sound? What happens when the fusion of Black, Anglo, Latino, Caribbean, and Cuban voices unite together to worship in one voice? Among the 2000 people that attend the Miami Vineyard Community Church, there are over a hundred singers, instrumentalists and songwriters that make up its eclectic worship ministry. For one night, these musicians joined together in worship and invited the church to document the sound that is uniquely MIAMI VINEYARD LIVE.

This distinctive bi-lingual liturgy is filled with many flavors, from Latino claves to gospel two-step to funk and soul to delay-laden rock guitars of modern worship, yet they all work together seamlessly to create a new sound and voice that is authentic and refreshing. From anthems of praise and proclamation to songs of intimacy and adoration, there is a common thread running deep throughout this recording and that is true worship of the Living God as an expression of His Kingdom breaking in on the streets and beaches of Miami, FL.

I have listened to this over and over. I love the energy and excitement of the singers voice and the rhythm of the music that accompanies it. I think my favorite is Hallelujah Anyhow since it reminds me of a little church around the corner of where I used to live in Berkeley, CA when I was waaaayyy younger. i would sit outside and listen to the beautiful voices and the worship and praise that come out of the windows on Sunday morning. This is so much like that.

If you're more used to the traditional Christian music on the radio, then this CD will open your eyes to a new type of worship. This CD is mostly uptempo and vibrant. You definitely hear the Latin and Caribbean culture in the music with the undertones of traditional Black Gospel. For me, this CD strengthened my faith in Christ and really awakened my spirit.
