The album, Umalusi Wami, is the outfit’s second project after their debut, Sebawothe. Umalusi Wami is also the theme of the concert.
The ensemble’s name, Dumisa, is a Ndebele term meaning “to praise” and was inspired by Psalms 148.
The ensemble’s publicist, Mncedisi Nyathi said said Dumisa, which was formed in 2014, was built on team work.
“Most of the songs are about God’s love, and hope in a troubled world, with impressive lyrics and genres compatible with all age groups. We write our own songs as a team, one brings an idea and we build it together into a song,” he said.
“We invite every gospel fan to come and join us, as we fellowship through music. For us, success would mean impacting generations and when we impact lives for Jesus, we would have lived our dream.”
The concert is an interdenominational praise and worship expression with the best gospel artistes that include Vocal EX, Adrian, Encounter, Maxinne, Tehillah, and Spirit Praise.
