GOSPEL musician, Ray Bopoto, has bemoaned moral decadence for the surge in promiscuous behaviour.
The singer, who fronts an eight-piece band called The Magi, believes gospel artists have a lot of work in spreading the good message to deal with moral decadence across the globe.
“As a born-again and converted singer, I believe there is need to intensify what we can do as gospel singers.
“You can see the issues we are faced with, on a daily basis, that we have lost our morals as a people.
“The world is going crazy and gospel music should remain the source of inspiration against the work that is triggering cultural erosion,” he said.
Bopoto is working on his new project.
“I was brought up in a mixed religion family.
“I started singing when l was a youth in the Salvation Army back in my hometown of Guruve.
“So, my project Ngairire, which carries four songs, is ready and fans should expect it early August.
“I found myself interested in sharing the word of God with others, through singing and as an instrumentalist.
“I compose strong messages related to saving souls,” added Bopoto.
To his credit, the singer has seven albums.
“I started my personal journey back in 2011 with my first album Never Despair, 2012 Masvingo Ejericho, 2018 Batai Dzimba, 2019 Wandinonamata, 2020 Njere Zhinji, 2021 Gore Rino and the latest, which is coming in August.
“My previous albums had some ups and downs as I was still trying to find my footing in the industry, then comes 2021 Tsotso song, off Gore Rino album.
“I trust that Ngairire album will continue with the journey that Tsotso has already embarked on.
“The message is of faith, hope and love.
“It’s all about Jesus Christ. The society we live in is in desperate need of genuine love,” he said.
Bopoto is yet to do a collaboration.
“We will be doing collaborations in the near future.”
