San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Consternation in the world of Christian music. This Thursday, February 4, the singer Jaume Murrell died in Miami.
The news has caused sadness in thousands of evangelicals and people around the world who followed for 45 years the music of the Panamanian-born singer known for songs that set a trend for his issues calling for peace in nations.
Below is a summary of his achievements that will now make him a legend.
1. AND DEMANO PEACE
Perhaps Jaume Murrel’s best-known song. In this song, the singer makes a prayer for peace in the city and apologizes to God for the wickedness of the village. This song has been used in hundreds of peace campaigns in Honduras and several Central American countries.
2. I WANT MORE THAN YOU
This song was used within the campaign carried out by the American writer Rick Warren with his book A Life with a Purpose. It is now a song present in hundreds of evangelical congregations.
3. THIS IS YOUR LOVE
One of the last songs recorded by Jaume Murrel but released at the beginning of his career. In this version it sang with the young Christian singer Kike Pavón in the album of this last one called “Yesterday and Avui”
4. OH HOUSER OF SION
One of the favorite songs in the Christian atmosphere. This version became more popular in his version of Murrell’s 25-year career. A curious fact is that he had a violin accompaniment by Honduran musician Hector David.
5. GREAT ARE YOUR WONDER
Thousands have sung Great are your wonders in all Spanish speaking. Jaume Murrell recorded this song with Marcos Witt in the 90’s but did a remix in his 25 years.
