Australia based Zimbabwean singer, Tarisai Kunashe has offered her endorsement for the award winning Ghanaian artist, Morris Makafui’s new Single ‘Edzebubu’.
The song which was released in January this year, had won the heart of many fans and gospel music enthusiasts.
Tarisai Kunashe also joined in recently to endorse this great piece from Morris Makafui on her Instagram page, expressing her love for the song and also covers it with her version with Philip Danso, a Canadian based Ghanaian keyboardist too
‘Edzebubu’ which actually means ‘He Is Wealthy Of Honour’, is a song of appreciation and confession of the transformation brought about by an encounter with Jesus.
In the song, just as it is recorded in the Bible on several occasions and even in our times, the preaching of the Gospel is a Jesus encounter affair where the blind see, the lame walk, there is total transformation and most importantly, lives are saved.
The song which won 2 awards at the just ended RTC Western Music Awards 2019, was compose and written by Morris Makafui
