MBABANE – Twenty one years in the music industry with no single live
recording.  Award winning local gospel group, Shongwe and Khuphuka Saved Group
have revealed that they will be recording a live DVD and CD.
History will be made this September when the Eswatini award winning group
records its first live DVD and CD.
The group led by Reverend Elias Shongwe will host the recording in Manzini at a
venue yet to be confirmed.
Shongwe has already met with a number of people who will be involved in the
recording to be done in a public arena.
Currently, Shongwe is trying to get a proper venue for the recording and hopes
to secure it in the next two weeks. Expected in the live DVD is 22 songs. The
songs will include some of the group’s hit tracks namely ‘Konkhe Kuhamba
Kahle’ and ‘Sokwendza Nje’.
“I have never done a live recording ever since I started singing. It will be
my first time to be in such a scenario,” said Shongwe.
He added, “I want to make sure that it becomes the best DVD that gospel music
lovers have ever seen.”
He said he would soon be launching the recording saying this will happen once he
has finalised with all the necessary people.
“This is a huge event and there are a number of things that need to be done. I
am still finalising all the logistics and as soon as everything has been
finalised, I will be in a position of releasing more information about the
show,” he said.
He urged gospel music lovers to support the group and this will be through
participating in the recording.
Ronnie Dlamini, Association of Christian Artists in Swaziland (ACASWA), Public
Relations Officer (PRO), said time has come for Shongwe and Khuphuka Saved Group
to host a live DVD and CD recording.
“Let’s all support Shongwe and Khuphuka. They have made us proud and lets
all be proud of what they have done for the country,” he said.
