Black Gospel choir music is rooted in 19th-century spirituals and African rhythmic traditions. By the 1930s, the exponential growth of Gospel choir music was fueled by “The Father Of Gospel Music,” Thomas A. Dorsey.
Throughout history, Gospel choir music has been the foundation of the church experience and has been heard as symbolic anthems of cultural unity, peace, and inspiration. The new generation of Gospel choirs and choruses weld traditional classic hymns and the innovative contemporary styles of today. Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ are the new generation of voices who are carrying the legacy of great Gospel choirs forward.
Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ originated in Minneapolis, MN, and branched out from The Gospel Music Workshop Of America (GMWA). “I was moved to found Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ, interpreting ‘Triad’ as three parts coming together to make one chord,” Jamar explains. “The numeric value of the choir’s name holds deeper significance – 3 (Triad) + 4 = 7, a biblical numeral signifying completeness, and ‘Christ’ denotes everything being perfected in Christ.”
Now based in Nashville, TN, with members throughout the country, Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ are emerging with renewed vision, a new label home, and fresh new music. They have released their long-awaited single, “He’s My Rock,” which was recorded live in Nashville.
“He’s My Rock” is written by Jamar and Ay’Ron Lewis. “I had been comfortable with only arranging for years until He’s My Rock,” Jamar states. “My producer Ay’Ron Lewis facilitated my growth by insisting I co-write with him.”
Multiple award-winning producer and musician Ay’Ron Lewis produced “He’s My Rock” and Triad 4 Christ’s forthcoming album. “He’s My Rock” also features powerhouse vocalist Adriann Lewis-Freeman.
“It was truly an honor to lend my voice to He’s My Rock,” says Adriann. “Songs like this remind us that no matter what life brings, God remains our firm foundation. Working with Jamar Esaw and Triad 4 Christ was powerful, and I believe this song will encourage people everywhere to stand on the truth that God is still our rock.”
The single is available now to stream or download on all digital music platforms. “He’s My Rock” is the first single from Jamar released by Enon Music Group. Jamar and his league of singers will release their new album later this year.
