The ever changing history of Zimbabwean Gospel music
All through its ever changing and transforming history, Gospel music is believed to have been directly derived from African Americans, who claim Gospel music as their own. It is believed to have sprung from the early African-American church and its origins attributed to the social changes that were taking place in the country at that time. Many blacks from the south were starting to other areas of the US and bringing with them their form of Gospel music, which was a form of expression for them.
From its origins, Gospel music was always met with challenges and today it is no different. Many older members of mainly mainline traditional churches think that the Gospel music of today is too wordly for comfort, whereas the younger members of the church think that older members of the church just don’t understand. But no matter what, it seems evident that the modern day Gospel music experience in Zimbabwe is here to stay. Read more
