Биография

Village Lights is a multicultural collective formed by Sarah Kroger, Ike Ndolo, and Ricky Vazquez. Based out of Tennessee and Arizona, the band unites around the pursuit of fostering a community of worshippers centered around God’s inviting love. Their debut self-titled EP and first studio album, “Kingdom,” (2021) introduced Village Lights’s heartbeat: one of unity, inclusivity and reconciliation wrapped in worshipful devotion More than a band, Village Lights is the beginning of a movement of worship and rally cry for those who seek justice in our world and in our Church. Village Lights was birthed from the relationship of three independent artists who often found themselves leading worship together at youth conferences and discovering a shared desire to create more modern worship music for more liturgical church spaces. After a couple of years of busy individual schedules preventing further collaboration, Village Lights recorded and released their first project during the challenging circumstances of 2020-21, which brought a new sense of the crucial importance of community for the band Marrying the concept of light as a welcoming glow seen from afar to the overarching theme of togetherness, the band’s name hints at their heart: to continually create communities, “villages”, where worship and mutual love can grow on a local level. Village Lights are constantly exploring various sonorities, blending the band’s multiethnicity and fresh poetic approaches to liturgical worship
