Seventh-Day group Advent Hope on Sunday launched their third album Tidzagonjetsa <\/em>at Comesa Hall in Blantyre.<\/p>\n

The launch pulled an impressive audience that saw Adventist Hope as the headliners putting up an impressive performance.<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s music teacher Major Nyirenda said they were excited in that they have finally managed to launch their third album.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long journey and we have waited for this day but thank God it has now come to pass. This is historical for the group and will remain among my best days because I have seen the glory of the Lord,\u201d Nyirenda said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cEverything was great and the turnout was massive. And on top of that, people supported us by buying the CDs which were on sale. The performances were great and we are thankful to all the supporting acts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nyirenda also said that the audience was not only impressive but they participated throughout the launch starting from buying the CDs to following the performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe audience was attentive. We were not only entertaining them but we wanted them to listen to the messages. The main message in our album is all about salvation hence the title Tidzagonjetsa <\/em>but we can only defeat the devil if we stick to Jesus Christ and walk with Him,\u201d Nyirenda said.<\/p>\n

It was a platform where the audience enjoyed accapella that showed the beauty of the vocals with instruments playing second fiddle.<\/p>\n

Tidzagonjetsa <\/em>was recorded at PC Studios in Blantyre by renowned bassist and producer Chambota Chirwa, who was present during the launch.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll our albums have been recorded by Chambota Chirwa and we are thankful to him,\u201d Nyirenda said.<\/p>\n

The 13-track album has both Chichewa and English songs and they include \u2018Ndimakhulupira Yesu\u2019, \u2018Khola La Ng\u2019ombe\u2019 and \u2018Jesus is Coming Soon\u2019.<\/p>\n

Apart from dishing out songs from the new album, the group also had time to perform songs from their previous albums including \u2018Tizapulumuka Bwanji\u2019.<\/p>\n

Advent Hope\u2019s previous albums are Lalikira Mawu <\/em>and Maranatha<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nyirenda said as a group they will continue to \u2018minister the word\u2019 of God through music.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur music is not only for Seventh-Day faithful, it\u2019s for everyone and we believe that God will continue to guide us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Other artists who performed at the launch include youthful Kamwana Family and Blessed Hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
