“People have got different hopes in their life and this is a New Year with everyone having resolutions so we are not going to do our ordinary shows but an intercessory show,” said Pastor Charamba.

“A lot has happened this year and people need to pray for the New Year with new things and we will be praying and obviously we will be worshipping and dancing to the Lord,” he said.

The Charambas have become known as “The First Family” of gospel music, and are arguably the best-selling gospel artistes to emerge from Zimbabwe.

Their music appeals to a wide audience with sing-along tunes.
“The people should look forward to a complete package because this will be yet another year of praising the Lord,” he said.
The couple has released popular albums like “Johanne 3:16”, “Vhuserere”, “Amen”, “Daily Bread”, “Exodus”, “Sunday Service” and “Verses and Chapters”.

They are both pastors with theological training, which enhances their understanding of the Scripture. They have toured the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia and have shared the stage with the likes of Solly Mahlangu, Sipho Makhabane, and Ron Kenolly, among others.
