This song opens all of my singing sessions. 
I lift my voice
I’m here to sing
I feel the vibration affect everything
With a song in my heart
And my heart on my sleeve
In this moment I am living
In this moment I sing.

Verse:
And I sing because it makes me happy
I sing because it sets me free
I’m singin’ for the revolution
And I’m singin’ just for me
So even if it sounds a little funny 
Or maybe it’s a little off key
I’m gonna keep on singin’
And I hope that you’ll be singin’ with me!

Angela Gabriel has been thriving in Santa Fe since 2002 as a professional percussionist, pianist, community music facilitator, creativity catalyst, and vocal activist dedicated to providing safe opportunities for people to replace judgement with curiosity and express themselves creatively. Her community singing sessions with The Joy Crew have helped spread the love of communal singing, harmonizing, and vocal expression to hundreds, and her work as a theomusicologist with the Poor People’s Campaign has connected her to activist groups in New Mexico and around the country.

She has taught percussion, piano, music history, and music theory at the university, continuing education, secondary, and elementary levels in both public and private institutions and is currently a teaching artist with the Santa Fe Opera’s ALTO program.

Using bodies, voices, instruments, and heart, she dynamically engages everyone from youth, to people living with Parkinson’s, to folks living in the state of homelessness, the hospice community, and more in the joy of creative expression, improvisation, and song in a way that gives everyone a sense of success and inclusion.

As a performer, Angela plays as needed with chamber, opera, symphonic, and choral groups in New Mexico as well as with The Sticky Live Funk, Hidden Whale, and The Gluey Brothers.
