Since 1996, MTN Joyous Celebration has been redrawing the boundaries of what gospel can be, and bringing, well: joy. This Sunday they bring that spirit to Idols, where they’ll perform two songs each with our Top 6.
Some of the founder’s names will ring bells: we’re talking gospel royalty Jabu Hlongwane, Lindelani Mkhize and Mthunzi Namba, who formed the group to celebrate the political change in the country and the peaceful transition into democracy.
But it’s the everyday altos, sopranos, tenors and band who’ve been turning up for decades that deserve equal credibility. If ever there was a definition of group effort, it’s this.
And after two-and-a-half-decades of making it happen, we can’t think of better collaborators.
Tune in and bliss out – the Lord will be in the building!
