Interdenominational gospel music group — Spirit Praise Choir — has done it with a delivery of a new song titled Elonga, which means Victory in Lingala featuring Congolese rhumba singer Dispatch.
The song, performed in Shona and Lingala, is a great number while accompanying video has some beautiful scenes something that’s typical of all rhumba videos.
Speaking at the launch held at the weekend, Dispatch was happy to collaborate with the super group and promised many such collabos.
“After working with Spirit Praise Choir for four months and successfully composing Elonga (Victory) together I feel I belong to the choir,” he said, adding that collaborating with the choir was through God’s grace.
“I cannot believe that it was me holding a pen and writing a song in another language. It was God’s blessing. With the Spirit Praise team, I feel like this is the place where I deserve to be.”
Spirit Praise Choir director, Learnmore Tawengwa said he believed they had delivered one of their best hits yet.
“Since a lot of people are going through some trials, one of the antidotes to these challenges is giving your life to God. I believe once people listen to the song their lives are going to change and get lifted,” Tawengwa said.
Tawengwa said because Spirit Praise Choir is an interdenominational and international choir composing a rhumba-fused song would help win more souls to God since rhumba is one of the most played genres and music is one of the best ways to capture
souls.
The group hopes to release in October a project titled One Voice in Six and a live DVD under their annual event dubbed One Voice Concert.
Spirit Praise Choir was formed in 2013 and has about 40 members with its discography constituting two albums.
