gospel music sermon:with The Master
RECENT events have cemented gospel music sensation Janet Manyowa’s status as one of the best musicians in the country.
Recently, the Celebration Church member hogged the limelight by scooping four awards at a glitzy 2019 Prophet Emmanuel and Ruth Makandiwa Invitational Concert and Awards Night (Permican) ceremony.
Manyowa scooped the Best Song Writer of the Year, Best Female Artist, Video of the Year (Nyasha Nengoni) and Album of the Year (Grateful) awards at a packed City Sports Centre in Harare.
The gospel music diva also proved that her three awards at the recent National Arts Merit Awards (Nama), were no fluke.
To cap it all, last week, Manyowa released a world-class video of the track, Ndimi Mwari.
This was a day after her awesome prerelease launch party that was held at an upmarket venue in the capital on Tuesday.
What touched the invited guests at the exclusive event was the moment when the winner of many awards, Janet, this time around was the giver of an award.
