SAMUEL SAADA
FANGA ISRAELI AFRICAN GOSPEL CHOIR / TEL AVIV
Coming from Trinidad & Tobago, living In Israel has brought me the experience of “Who I am” musically, while adding the joys of mixing with so many cultures and people.
Trained as a classical singer at the prestigious Walter School of Music I soon discovered it wasn't enough - I wanted more. I wanted to see the world and learn of others, which brought me to my Fanga! (The Power within Me)
Fanga became an extension of my lifestyle, my philosophy, reaching out to others, helping them understand that “their difference is their genius” and that they can do what's in them while emphasizing the importance of not replicating others.
Having the Fanga-IAGC is part of having my illusive dream come to life, bridging the cultural, social stigma that is so often associated with Israel in a negative mind-set to the outside world.
