Unlocked Music competition opens doors for gospel artistes

WHILE gospel music promotion has become an area of little attention, Capital Seven Business Centre (CSBC) has brought a sigh of relief to the genre through the recently-launched interdenominational Unlocked Gospel Music competition.

The competition, which will be sponsored by leading financial institution ZB Bank, roars to life tomorrow at Harare Gardens’ main stage, with over ZWL$15 000 to be won at different stages.

The competition, set to go through five stages over six months, comes at a time when not much has been done for the genre owing to a lack of interest for gospel music by local promoters, who appear to be focusing much on secular musicians to leverage their businesses.
