Gospel heavyweights unite in song
In what could be seen as a milestone in efforts to unite Namibian musicians, some of the country's most loved gospel stars recently united in song, in order to offer hope for a desperate Namibia.
Performing under the name Nam Gospel United, the artists recently launched the music video for the hit song titled 'We Pray'. The gospel track, which transcends genres, includes effortless vocals as well as rap appearances, and will appeal to both young and old. Artists on the song includes award-winning gospel artist and pioneer of gospel music in Namibia D-Naff, as well as Lady Dyna and Alex Shiwayu. Music lovers who haven't heard of gospel rappers Franklin and Dee'A, as well as breakout star Effy, are in for the treat, as the duo offers some unique, raw and exciting lyrics.
Lady Dyna with her unique raspy tone adds texture to a song that is dominated by big voices. Other stars include Bhuqaid, Justine Lomame, Levite and Tony the Poet. The song is however anchored by Maranatha and singer Pride. Maranatha's vocal abilities are on full display as she belts out big notes that are going to touch the hearts that aches for peace. Speaking after the launch, D-Naff said music as a universal language is about touching hearts, and as gospel artist, they wanted to come together to offer hope and inspiration to people.
“All of us, as artist have an individual sound and individual fan bases, we wanted to unite all of that to show people despite our many differences, we are still united in the Lord's grace and in love, and that with more love, we can make the world a better place. We just need to choose love over hater, over anger and over bitterness,” D-Naff said.
Always on the move, D-Naff Entertainment in collaboration with GLM Events is organising yet another exciting event. A Night of Worship with South African gospel sensation Shaun P will be held tomorrow at the Jesus Centre at Ombili, Okuryangava. D-Naff, Effy, Pride and Clive are also expected to perform at the event. Tickets cost N$100.
