‘The Rise of Lazarus’

- OTLARONGWA KGWEETSI

Lazarus Mpho Kajane, a singer, worshipper, performer, and church minister, is set to release his highly anticipate­d album, ‘The Rise of Lazarus’ on May 25. The album is not just a collection of songs, but a revelation and a tool for inspiratio­n for the masses. Inspired by the Biblical story of Lazarus, the album features songs that bring hope to the hopeless, elevate one’s relationsh­ip with God, and inspire faith and determinat­ion in overcoming any obstacle.

The album will be officially launched with a one-of-a-kind live recording event at ENKO BOTHO, Block 7, in Gaborone. The live recording will later be packaged into a video format for wider distributi­on. In an interview, Kajane shared the personal experience­s that influenced the creation of his album.

He spoke of the pain, hardships, and challenges he faced, which inspired him to write songs that speak to those who may be struggling. The overall message of the album is one of encouragem­ent and empowermen­t - a call to rise from despair and embrace faith and belief.

Despite facing challenges such as financial constraint­s, sabotage, and limited resources in Botswana, Kajanere revealed that he is determined to bring his music to the world. He hopes that his music will impact listeners in a positive way, offering them comfort, inspiratio­n, and a renewed sense of faith. Kajane also revealed his future goals of owning a gospel movement choir that will spread the message of hope and inspiratio­n globally. ‘The Rise of Lazarus’ is just the beginning of his musical journey, as he seeks to uplift and encourage all who listen to his music.

He emphasised that with heartfelt lyrics, soulful melodies, and a message of redemption, The Rise of Lazarus promises to be a musical journey like no other.

“As listeners prepare to embark on this musical journey of hope and inspiratio­n, the message is clear, no matter what challenges you may face, it is possible to rise above them and emerge stronger than ever.

“The Rise of Lazarus is not just an album, but a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the human spirit”, he said.
