Gospel music is a genre of Christian music that originated in the southern United States and has roots in African-American spirituals, hymns, and blues. Gospel music is characterized by its strong vocals and message of hope, love, and redemption. During the Christmas season, many American gospel musicians and choirs perform holiday-themed songs and hymns at church services and other events. These performances often incorporate traditional Christmas carols and hymns, as well as original compositions with a gospel twist.
Some popular American gospel Christmas songs include "Joy to the World," "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," and "O Come All Ye Faithful," as well as original compositions like "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and "Mary, Did You Know?" Gospel music has played a significant role in American culture and has influenced many other musical genres, including soul, funk, and hip hop. The powerful vocals and uplifting message of gospel music make it a popular choice for holiday celebrations, and it continues to be a beloved and enduring tradition in the United States.
Stella Jones is known for her participation in the musicals Rocky Horror Picture Show, Jesus Christ Superstar, RENT, Little Shop of Horrors, Crazy Weekend, Mozartmania, Ain’t Misbehaven, Carmen Cubana. In Austria she participated in several ORF shows as well as in two Eurovisions Songcontests. The American Christmas Gospel concert takes place every year during the middle of December.
