HUNDREDS of gospel music fans will tomorrow converge at Harare International Conference Centre for the Zimpraise’s Hymns Night 2 concert.

Zimpraise chief executive officer Joseph Madziyire told NewsDay the Hymns Night was about going back in time and reliving the power of hymn music.
“These songs put in melody and harmony were not just written by people because they were musical or because they were trying to build a career in music or to make money, but they were written with deep understanding of the Word of God and through such songs, the sick would get healed, the oppressed delivered and miracles happened as they sang them,” he said.
Madziyire said they would also use the concert as a platform to pray for Zimbabwe before an evening live recording of about 30 new hymns featuring Zimpraise Kids, Mudiwa Hood and Kuda Mutsvene.
“We are starting the show at 2pm with a concert in which we will rewind to previous old Zimpraise songs just to minister to all our fans as we praise and worship together. We will then be having the live recording in the evening of which we are doing about 30 new hymns this year,” he said.
