Then the soldiers push her aside...
PPMI Striking up the band
For PPMI music is at the very heart of our message. Some of the emotions wrapped up in this presentation simply can’t be communicated with words alone. Special care was taken in the selection, and modification of existing songs as well as in the creation of new music presented in the Passion Play He’s Alive.
With the exception of our opening song, every solo you’ll hear in this presentation had to pass two important tests. First of all it was important...
Hola Costa Rica!
