Gospel inspiratio­nal concert on Saturday

- Joel Tsvakwi Showbiz Correspond­ent

A GOSPEL Inspiratio­nal Concert is set to be launched in Bulawayo at the City of Christ Internatio­nal on Saturday.

The concert will be held in a bid to boost morale and prove the mantle of the up-and-coming gospel artists in and around the city.

A contingent of artistes including Nodubo Hadebe, Maginasi Moyo, Kingdom Ambassador­s and Brian Moyo are billed to perform.

To spice up the concert will be guest artist Abigail Mwembe – an esteemed gospel artist from Harvest Internatio­nal Church – who is expected to serenade the gospel music lovers.

The concert is a brainchild of the Great Trumpet Music Foundation (GTMF) which is a coalition of interdenom­inational up-and-coming gospel artistes.

Founder and leader of the GTMF, Donny Masunungur­e, affectiona­tely known as Minister Donn Mass said this was part of their efforts to penetrate the gospel scene in the city.

“This concert is the beginning of developing our registered artistes to become acquainted with the high demands of gospel music and the music industry at large. With the morale and high expectatio­ns, we believe the sky is the limit,” he said.

Mduduzi Vushe who is also a member of the GTMF weighed in saying the usual crying by artistes of being sidelined in the music industry should be a thing of the past.

“As gospel artists, we have a perception of being sidelined so we have decided to wake up from this slumber and prove that we can also make it, just like our brothers in the secular world,” said Vushe.
