MBABANE– Ndoni makes big moves!
South African Gospel artist Takie Ndou will feature local Gospel artist Sphiwo Ndoni Ndlangamandla in a live recording that will be held in South Africa next week.
Dubbed ‘The Glory Live Recording’ and presented by Hope Arise Records, the live recording will be held on Saturday (April 20), at the Carnival City Big Top Arena. The live recording is expected to kick off at 6:30pm.
When reached for comment, an excited Ndoni shared with this publication that Ndou asked him to feature in the recording. He said: “He actually asked me to feature on his recording happening next week. I was so honoured and grateful for such an amazing invitation. I know for sure that this is one of the biggest stages I have ministered at. And I so much thank God for this one.”
When asked when he did meet the SA Gospel artist, he said: “I have known Takie since 2018, but I met him formally in 2021, when we were ministering together at Mbabane Alliance Spiritual upliftment concert. We then connected since then I invited him to my Zion Experience concert in 2022.”
According to Ndoni the SA artists was last in the country this past weekend for a wedding, but for a gospel event he last came for MTN iPraise with Spirit of Praise last year.
Takie Ndou, born Aubrey Takalani, is an anointed songwriter, psalmist, music producer, and worship leader. His hit song ‘Babe Ngisite,’ which was released in 2018, is still a firm favourite in gospel music. His album ‘Great Revival,’ which was released in 2021, scored him six nods under the categories of Best Gospel Producer Album, Best Gospel Album, Best Engineer, and Best Gospel Artist. He has bagged six Crown Gospel nominations and has been in the music industry for over a decade.
Ndoni recently released his latest project, titled Waze Wetsembeka, in December. The gospel artist shared with this publication that the song is a praise song from his heart to Jehovah because of His faithfulness towards us. It was recorded live at the second annual Mount Zion Experience that was held at the Manzini Metropolitan Evangelical Church auditorium on October 7 last year.
