What began as a choir bringing together young Christians from different churches has grown into one of Zimbabwe’s leading gospel music movements, with Zimpraise celebrating 20 years of taking local gospel music to international audiences.
The choir group will celebrate 20 years in gospel music with a major concert at Glamis Arena in Harare on November 14.
Founded in 2006, the gospel music movement started as an interdenominational choir bringing together young Christian musicians from different churches.
Its vision was to share the Gospel through music while promoting Zimbabwean talent and creativity.
Over the years, Zimpraise has grown into a recognised gospel brand, expanding into music production, live concerts, international tours and talent development.
One of its major milestones came in 2013 when it staged a live recording at the Harare International Conference Centre, producing Sungano, a song that became one of its signature hits.
The success opened doors to international audiences, with the Sungano/Covenant tour taking the group to sold-out shows in the United Kingdom and Dubai.
In 2017, Zimpraise marked its 10th anniversary by hosting renowned Christian leader Bishop T.D. Jakes, further strengthening its international profile.
