|
African Gospel Rhythms brings to the forefront, original compositions and arrangements with blended elements of distinctive, innovative, and an appealing wide-ranging, accurate and ageless sound, fueled by enthusiasm and a flawless and favorable sense of rhythm; from some of their most powerful performances yet. From a soul-reaching "Thank You For Giving to the Lord", to the powerful anthem, "Africa Arise", this must-have-album will no doubt rock the very essence of youre your spirit, down to the core of your soul! The Plight of Africa (The Sleeping Giant.) Africa has been faced with innumerable and unthinkable plights. It is our heart-felt belief that we can no longer sit on the sidelines as mere spectators while other nations oversee our welfare and roadmap our future. It is time to give these issues at hand our undivided attention and create positive, tangible strategies and multiple streams of legitimate and multiplying income venues that will empower those villages within the continent of Africa that finds itself under the horrific plight of:
This deadly scourge has not spared my own home, Zambia, Zimbabwe, a nation once considered the "Bread Basket of Africa". Due to poverty and hunger, HIV /AIDS, other diseases, and natural disasters, there are many orphaned and abandoned children. Many of these children will die due to the lack of intervention with necessary resources from the Government and itselfs own people who could assist but will not! Although my heart truly goes out to each and every child and certainly my prayers circulate the continent of Africa with faith and hope for a better tomorrow, I am aware that I alone cannot combat this horrific ordeal but I can however be a part of the solution to bringing restoration and hope to a few. It is from that solid ground that I dedicate this album and a part of the proceeds from my music to the modern struggles of the people of Zimbabwe who are now in search of a new freedom. Our fight in the past was against the injustices that were imposed upon us and today seems to be mirroring the exact same reflection of injustices and despair but on a different level that can only be dissipated through the wisdom of God, education and financial resources. Africa is now embracing a new and beautiful day, which we believe will blossom with new leaders who are operating with a different mind-set and who will direct the continent to prosperity. So I say to you! Arise! Arise Mama Africa! Arise! For it truly is a new day.
God bless Africa, |
