Takesure Zamah Ncube performs with Joyous Celebration <\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

They have kept us posted with mellow jams, but popular credit has been long time coming for Zimbabwean gospel music\u2019s trending acts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
We look at recent arrivals and persistent pilgrims on the Christian entertainment circuit, and the journeys that took them to acclaim.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More than just torching up ephemeral sparks of genius, the featured musicians have demonstrated both calibre and enduring quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Takesure Zamar Ncube\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Worship Addicts frontman is past rehabilitation. With six full-length albums, two compilations and a DVD between 2011 and 2015, the addict is still singing under the influence, and without signs of slowing down.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI envision major changes in Christian entertainment. I see the church embracing worship in deeper and more conscious ways not just as a curtain raiser for preaching,\u201d Zamar tells Far South.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And that is just how profound the addict\u2019s workflow is. Most of his worship songs deeply minister both for the lyrics and the execution.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Zamar easily stands out of most contemporary gospel acts with his capacity for original compositions. His compositions are both socially situated and biblically synced, making for both immediacy and conviction.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is a considerable merit in an industry where most artists never tire of riding on hymns which have been around for decades, often without a novel approach to give the hymns a new lease of reception.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cOur devotional series can be classified as contemporary worship but it is packaged in a fusion of genres, mostly katekwe, afro-jazz and blues,\u201d Zamar said.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This cosmopolitan resume, which probably benefits from Zamar\u2019s background with a music college, is necessary for appeal across an expansive range.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The instruments to \u201cNgaazive Mwari,\u201d one of the recent tracks, sound like vintage Tuku, while maintaining a tapered evangelical end. Tracks \u201cAngikhalakhali\u201d and \u201cAseko\u201d are feel-good township jazz ditties, while \u201cNdinoshuvira\u201d and \u201cShow Me Your Face\u201d are deep worship experiences.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Zamar got his big break after a stellar performance of \u201cKuregerera in Advance\u201d and \u201cAgere Pachigaro\/ Changamire Muponesi\u201d with the Joyous Celebration, followed by a Zimbabwe Achievers Award gong for the International Gospel Artist.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Zamar\u2019s biggest hit to date is, no doubt, \u201cA Prayer for Zimbabwe,\u201d an intercessory track with touches of nationalism, in the make of Henry Olonga\u2019s \u201cOur Zimbabwe,\u201d Pastor Charamba\u2019s \u201cNyika Zimbabwe\u201d and Culture T\u2019s \u201cTendai.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
His albums so far are \u201cPraise Addicts\u201d (Volumes 1, 2), \u201cWorship Addicts\u201d (Volumes 1-4) and \u201cZamar Select\u201d (Volumes 1, 2). His live DVD, \u201cWorship Altar,\u201d was recorded in June last year, featuring familiar hits and new additions \u201cPane Gore Rasimuka\u201d and the joyful ditty \u201cChangamire Muponesi.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

Janet Manyowa<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
Janet Manowa is one of the most notable recent appearances. \u00a0<\/span>\u201cAmazing God,\u201d her duet with Dr Comfort Manyame early last year, signaled that she no passing fad. Subsequent tracks \u201cTarisa\u201d and \u201cNdomira Pamuri\u201d staked a claim for her among the most serious gospel acts around. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAmazing God\u201d topped the charts on Star FM, ZiFM and Power FM and was voted Number 6 on the 2014 on Star FM Gospel Greats\u2019 2014 end-of-year chart.\u00a0 <\/span>Uncharacteristically, all the first three singles peaked at number one for a considerable stretch on the weekly gospel charts, while the video to \u201cNdomira Pamuri\u201d peaked at the pole position at Christ TV\u2019s daily chart for two weeks.<\/span><\/div>\n
Manyowa recently released her debut album \u201cKing of Glory,\u201d a worship offering which features 11 tracks. \u201cThe title is based on Psalm 24, which focuses on the sovereignty of God. All the tracks on the album are based on trusting in God and the greatness, presence and goodness of God,\u201d Manyowa tells Far South. <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
While she does not overkill her tracks, the lyrical economy seems to be a measured device for graceful delivery. <\/span><\/div>\n
The melody goes on, transcendent still, long after the music has stopped playing.<\/span><\/div>\n
It might be no exaggeration to say Manyowa is a Zimbabwean gospel gem the stature of Shingisai Suluma and Olivia Charamba. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI find pleasure and fulfillment in ministering the Good News of Christ through my talent, hence my choice for gospel as a genre,\u201d Manyowa says. The Chegutu-born artist was sent to a music school at the age of 10 and her parents would have her sing at the slightest opportunity. <\/span><\/div>\n
Tracks \u201cAmazing God,\u201d \u201cKing of Glory,\u201d \u201cTarisa\u201d and \u201cUfanelwe\u201d extol the greatness of God. \u201cNdomira Pamuri,\u201d \u201cThe Reprise\u201d and \u201cOvercome\u201d urge trust in God while \u201cMuripo\u201d and \u201cKune Muponesi\u201d (featuring Minister Michael Mahendere) celebrate the presence of God. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cMost of my songs come to me in a moment of personal prayer, worship or meditation. It can also be a time of reflection on what God has done. \u2018Tarisa\u2019 for example flowed out of praise and thanksgiving to God,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/div>\n
Manyowa looks up to Pastor Bonnie Deuschle, Shingisai Suluma and Tasha Cobbs as role models. She looks to nurture other young girls to use their talents for the glory of God. <\/span><\/div>\n

Rev T.T Chivaviro, is perhaps more of a now, than a next, big act. His masterpiece \u201cEbenezer,\u201d featuring legends Pastor Charamba and Baba Machanic Manyeruke has been trending to popular reception on air, in churches, on the streets and social functions since late last year.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u201cTinoti Ebenezer, nesuwo tiri munyasha, zvairema zvichirwadza asi Jehovah vatisvitsa pano\u201d has been the signature anthem on Harare\u2019s First Street for months, adjacent to the street preachers, and never seems to lose its touch. <\/span><\/div>\n
The singing pastor has a prolific discography featuring 10 albums and several collaborations since 1997. He has shared the stage with an all-star cast including Machanic Manyeruke, late great Brian Sibalo (his mentor and role model), the Charambas, Sipho Makhabane and Vuyo Mokoena.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span>He has various Nama nominations, choral awards and has shared the Musica Peace Award with the late Ephat Mujuru and Alick Macheso. <\/span><\/div>\n
He was nominated at the SABC Crown Gospel Awards in the Best of Africa Category in 2010 and got another South African nomination in the best collaboration category of the Ingoma Gospel Awards.<\/span><\/div>\n
Togarepi Tapera Chivaviro was born in Gokwe 40 years ago. \u201cI started singing in church aged only five and went on to be the conductor of my school choir when I was in Grade 5,\u201d Chivaviro tells The Review.<\/span><\/div>\n
He formed and trained Batanai Secondary School Choir as a new teacher at the school in 1995 and led them to the fourth position at the Zimbabwe National High Schools in the same year.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI responded to a calling into fulltime ministry in 1997 and went on to enroll at the United Theological College in Epworth for a Theology Diploma in 1998,\u201d he says. <\/span><\/div>\n
This time instead of forming a choir, Chivaviro started a band! \u201cThe Faith Ambassadors Band consisted of five trainee pastors and six others, essentially starting the nine-album journey.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

Trending Gospel Artists | Blockspace","og_description":"Takesure Zamah Ncube performs with Joyous Celebration They have kept us posted with mellow jams, but popular credit has been long time coming for Zimbabwean gospel music\u2019s trending acts.\u00a0 We look at recent arrivals and persistent pilgrims on the Christian entertainment circuit, and the journeys that took them to acclaim.\u00a0 More than just torching up ephemeral sparks of genius, the featured musicians have demonstrated both calibre and enduring quality.\u00a0 Takesure Zamar Ncube\u00a0 The Worship Addicts frontman is past rehabilitation. With six full-length albums, two compilations and a DVD between 2011 and 2015, the addict is still singing under the influence, and without signs of slowing down. \u201cI envision major changes in Christian entertainment. I see the church embracing worship in deeper and more conscious ways not just as a curtain raiser for preaching,\u201d Zamar tells Far South. And that is just how profound the addict\u2019s workflow is. Most of his worship songs deeply minister both for the lyrics and the execution. Zamar easily stands out of most contemporary gospel acts with his capacity for original compositions. His compositions are both socially situated and biblically synced, making for both immediacy and conviction. This is a considerable merit in an industry where most artists never tire of riding on hymns which have been around for decades, often without a novel approach to give the hymns a new lease of reception. \u201cOur devotional series can be classified as contemporary worship but it is packaged in a fusion of genres, mostly katekwe, afro-jazz and blues,\u201d Zamar said.\u00a0 This cosmopolitan resume, which probably benefits from Zamar\u2019s background with a music college, is necessary for appeal across an expansive range. The instruments to \u201cNgaazive Mwari,\u201d one of the recent tracks, sound like vintage Tuku, while maintaining a tapered evangelical end. Tracks \u201cAngikhalakhali\u201d and \u201cAseko\u201d are feel-good township jazz ditties, while \u201cNdinoshuvira\u201d and \u201cShow Me Your Face\u201d are deep worship experiences. Zamar got his big break after a stellar performance of \u201cKuregerera in Advance\u201d and \u201cAgere Pachigaro\/ Changamire Muponesi\u201d with the Joyous Celebration, followed by a Zimbabwe Achievers Award gong for the International Gospel Artist. Zamar\u2019s biggest hit to date is, no doubt, \u201cA Prayer for Zimbabwe,\u201d an intercessory track with touches of nationalism, in the make of Henry Olonga\u2019s \u201cOur Zimbabwe,\u201d Pastor Charamba\u2019s \u201cNyika Zimbabwe\u201d and Culture T\u2019s \u201cTendai.\u201d His albums so far are \u201cPraise Addicts\u201d (Volumes 1, 2), \u201cWorship Addicts\u201d (Volumes 1-4) and \u201cZamar Select\u201d (Volumes 1, 2). His live DVD, \u201cWorship Altar,\u201d was recorded in June last year, featuring familiar hits and new additions \u201cPane Gore Rasimuka\u201d and the joyful ditty \u201cChangamire Muponesi.\u201d \u00a0Janet Manyowa Janet Manyowa Janet Manowa is one of the most notable recent appearances. \u00a0\u201cAmazing God,\u201d her duet with Dr Comfort Manyame early last year, signaled that she no passing fad. Subsequent tracks \u201cTarisa\u201d and \u201cNdomira Pamuri\u201d staked a claim for her among the most serious gospel acts around. \u201cAmazing God\u201d topped the charts on Star FM, ZiFM and Power FM and was voted Number 6 on the 2014 on Star FM Gospel Greats\u2019 2014 end-of-year chart.\u00a0 Uncharacteristically, all the first three singles peaked at number one for a considerable stretch on the weekly gospel charts, while the video to \u201cNdomira Pamuri\u201d peaked at the pole position at Christ TV\u2019s daily chart for two weeks. Manyowa recently released her debut album \u201cKing of Glory,\u201d a worship offering which features 11 tracks. \u201cThe title is based on Psalm 24, which focuses on the sovereignty of God. All the tracks on the album are based on trusting in God and the greatness, presence and goodness of God,\u201d Manyowa tells Far South. While she does not overkill her tracks, the lyrical economy seems to be a measured device for graceful delivery. The melody goes on, transcendent still, long after the music has stopped playing. It might be no exaggeration to say Manyowa is a Zimbabwean gospel gem the stature of Shingisai Suluma and Olivia Charamba. \u201cI find pleasure and fulfillment in ministering the Good News of Christ through my talent, hence my choice for gospel as a genre,\u201d Manyowa says. The Chegutu-born artist was sent to a music school at the age of 10 and her parents would have her sing at the slightest opportunity. Tracks \u201cAmazing God,\u201d \u201cKing of Glory,\u201d \u201cTarisa\u201d and \u201cUfanelwe\u201d extol the greatness of God. \u201cNdomira Pamuri,\u201d \u201cThe Reprise\u201d and \u201cOvercome\u201d urge trust in God while \u201cMuripo\u201d and \u201cKune Muponesi\u201d (featuring Minister Michael Mahendere) celebrate the presence of God. \u201cMost of my songs come to me in a moment of personal prayer, worship or meditation. It can also be a time of reflection on what God has done. \u2018Tarisa\u2019 for example flowed out of praise and thanksgiving to God,\u201d she said. Manyowa looks up to Pastor Bonnie Deuschle, Shingisai Suluma and Tasha Cobbs as role models. She looks to nurture other young girls to use their talents for the glory of God.
