INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed gospel musicians Naomi Raine and Todd Galberth are expected to arrive in Harare today.
They are set to perform on Friday.
The two American gospel musicians will headline the “Everywhere Tour” at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC).
The show will also feature local gospel artists including Janet Manyowa, Cleo Arie, Sharon Cherayi, Ellard Cherayi, and the gospel ensemble The Unveiled.
South African actress and media personality, Russian Thandekisi, will be the host of the event.
The Americans are returning after their memorable visit in 2024 as part of the globally renowned Maverick City Music tour.
Organisers said this year’s concert will once again deliver a powerful and spiritually uplifting experience bringing together international gospel excellence and Zimbabwe’s vibrant worship music scene.
Event director at Events by GEC, Lyncolin Kapswara, said preparations for the concert are at an advanced stage with organisers ready to deliver a memorable night of worship.
“We are fully prepared to host what we believe will be a transformative experience for everyone involved and we are committed to ensuring that this event exceeds expectations,” said Kapswara.
He said the selection of local artists was carefully considered to create a unique blend of Zimbabwean gospel expression and international worship culture.
“We chose these artists not only for their talent but also for their ability to create an unforgettable atmosphere.
“Those attending can expect heartfelt performances that connect both the local culture and the international gospel movement,” he said.
The concert is expected to draw large crowds of worshippers and gospel music fans from across the country with many anticipating a night filled with praise worship and spiritual renewal.
Raine is an American gospel singer, songwriter, and worship leader.
She was a member of Maverick City Music collective from 2019 to 2025.
