Since the early 1990's, New Creation has been tantalizing its audiences with its own unique blend of classical, folk, country, rock, gospel, funk and children's songs. Though the membership has changed and transformed over the years as musicians and singers drift in and out of the transient Gainesville, Florida community, the message and purpose has remained the same: Bahá'u'lláh has proclaimed the Unity of Mankind and we are here to uplift hearts through music and a unified example of harmony and diversity.
After years and years of the same question, "Do you have a CD?", the answer is finally, "Yes!" The Let All Associate single is New Creation's first release and their hope is to raise funds for a full album with its sale.
They decided to record their most requested and beloved song, "Let All Associate" (one of Radio Nur's Best of 2003), written in one inspired afternoon by band members Brenda Cooper Derry, Michael Derry, and Talia Johnson. Sing and Enjoy!
