Afro-gospel music is a rarely heard genre in the US music industry. Everyone is used to having the classic, traditional songs, and live recordings by gospel artists, and there is almost nothing from an African standpoint. Fola Joaquim Branco is a unique composer who uses his voice as an instrument occasionally is about changing this narrative to become one of the pioneering acts of afro-gospel music in the United States with the release of ‘Eternal 8,’ Fola’s first music album under the afro-gospel genre.
Fola Joaquim Branco, also known as Fola ‘The Composer’, was a former professional basketball player before an accident made him turn to singing. Fola identifies the experience as God-like stating it brought him closer to God and paved the way for a dual-career run as a basketball player and a gospel music artist. According to the LA composer and songwriter, Eternal 8 is heavenly and aims to bring people closer to God as they listen to the sixteen tracks that make up the album.
“It feels like I didn’t even write this album,” asserted Fola ‘The Composer’ ahead of the album release. “It was as though God was using the pen and doing all the writing and I only followed His promptings. Regardless of our beliefs, ideologies, and principles, we all need a savior, (myself included) and my prayer is that this album will bring each and every person 100% satisfaction and closer to Jesus Christ, or it’s a money back guaranteed.”
Eternal 8 by Fola comprises sixteen original songs and nine music videos. The album will bring listeners an overwhelming spiritual pleasure while pointing them to Jesus and how he was born in a very humble way to save humanity from its sins. Furthermore, several other spiritual thoughts and virtues are beautifully sung by the artist and compiled in the album.
The album tracklist includes the following titles:
- God First
- Dance like David
- From my Enemies
- Provider featuring Ariella Branco
- Dear Ariella
- Forgiveness
- Need you Pele
- Eternal Eight
- Impossible
- Faith no Easy
- Baba Never Fails
- Better Days
- Decrease, Increase featuring Antonio Cooke
- Presence
- Every day
- Yours Truly
These songs are sung in a professional way in what can be seen as a billboard nomination-worthy afro-gospel album. The song will be released on January 28, 2022, and will be available across digital music streaming platforms.
