Arts Correspondent
Gospel musician Timothy Ngwenya is in the studio working on his fifth album that will be released in September. Ngwenya who is based in the UK will launch the album in that country with Rev T Chivaviro being the guest performer. He will have a similar show in Zimbabwe with other gospel musicians based in Zimbabwe.

The musician, whose last album is “Kutaura Kwavo”, said he would work to have his music sold across the country.

“We should not just get focused on our audience here but we should spread and make sure everyone gets a copy of the CD. Back home the music will be available on all platforms,” he said.

He said he was hopeful that his new project will win souls as it has a number of prayerful songs.

Timothy, who is younger brother to another gospel musician Chaka Ngwenya, said the album is a reflection of Christian life.

“There are a lot of things that are happening in our life and we need to pray,” said Ngwenya.

Usually, the gospel musician does his songs in Shona and English.

“I am hopeful that this album will lift up many souls because there are a number of worship songs,” he said.

Born in Hurungwe the musician grew up in Chinhoyi and has recorded with Gramma Records previously.

He has shared stage with several gospel musicians that include Pastor Charles Charamba, Mahendere Brothers and Mechanic Manyeruke while he has collaborations with Rumbie Zvirikuzhe, Tyra Chikocho, Gospel power and Manyeruke among others.

Ngwenya said he has been moving from place to place due to work commitments.

He is among musicians who started Ebenezer Gospel Promotions that has been taking several musicians to the UK.

“I would not forget my brother Chaka who is in New York. He brought all this to my face and he told me I can do it. We did three albums together and he is my centre of inspiration,” he said.
