Gospel artiste Minister Michael Mahendere yesterday officially launched a global fundraising campaign as he celebrates his 40th birthday.
The campaign, which has three major projects running under the theme “Building a Heritage of Excellence”, is being carried out in partnership with Urban Create.
The campaign included the establishment of a world-class recording studio, gospel radio station and direct worship live equipment.
Urban Create Agency Managing Director, Stephene Chikozho, said the projects are expected to encourage more players to join the gospel music and culture sector.
“The fundraising campaign is in honour of building a recording studio which is meant to inspire regional and international artists as well as provide public relations of music targeting well-wishers and friends of the Minister in South Africa, Australia, United Kingdom and the United States of America.
“One of the projects, The Direct Worship live equipment, which covers stage equipment, sound system and LED screens, will improve local touring events to world-class status and enable the hiring of this equipment to generate revenue to fund recordings for up-coming artists.
“In addition, the successful implementation of the projects shall increase the appreciation, consumption and enjoyment of Zimbabwean and African music locally and internationally.
“The gospel radio station is to be at Michael House as well, and shall provide the opportunity for the publicity and marketing of music and the arts locally and internationally,” he said.
Urban Create and Minister Mahendere are inviting fans, friends and corporates to contribute to a fundraising dinner scheduled for May 27 at the Golden Conifer, Harare.
