She almost left Lot-et-Garonne in 2016; It seems this time it's the right one. Singer Stellia Koumba signed in July with a Parisian production company: Lambano. “I have already found an apartment there. Of course, I will come back, because my parents stay in Lot-et-Garonne,” she confides. The artist was spotted during a competition, which took place between April and June. “I didn't anticipate that I would be selected,” smiles the woman who, a short time before, set down her bags in Villeneuvois and set up her eighth Gloryspel choir there, in Pujols.
This December 4, Stellia Koumba is heading to the capital, where she is going to record the end of the video clip for a single released this year, “Will he find faith?” “. The song “is French-speaking gospel, but it can be in English or Spanish.” It was produced in anticipation of an EP, still in preparation. “It will be for 2025! The clip will be coming very soon,” promises the singer.
A guest star
Attached to Lot-et-Garonne, where she has lived since 2004, she wants to mark the occasion before moving to Paris. This Sunday, December 8 at 8 p.m., in Agen Agora (1), she and her choir, made up of around sixty choristers, are offering a concert to mark Gloryspel's seven years. A prestigious guest will join the party, in the person of Dexter Walker (2), a leading choir director for gospel choirs in the United States. “International choir directors go to Chicago to learn from him,” assures Stellia Koumba.
Agen Agora is preparing to experience “two hours of concert. There will be a whole staging, both in the lighting and in the voices. We're going to talk about the beginnings of Gloryspel, we're going to tell the story of the choir in a somewhat chronological way. » This event is not the last of its kind, in Agen, for the singer and the choir. Saturday December 28, at 6 p.m., they will perform on Place Castex.
