The 10th edition of the Star FM Gospel Greats Top 50 songs of 2022 took place yesterday.
Hosted by Yvonne Tivatye the special edition started at 4 pm to 9 pm.
Janet Manyowa took the coveted first place with her track ‘Vaudze’, Minister Mahendere was second with ‘Tangai Neni’ and the third position went to ‘Bvudzi rangu ramera’ by Dorcas Moyo.
Everton Mlalazi‘s ‘Ndokutewera’ and Andrea The Vocalist ft Aubrey Qwana’s Uhambo completed the top Five.
Speaking to Zimbuzz about her win, Janet Manyowa paid tribute to her fellow gospel artists for delivering music that gave glory to God.
“I am grateful to God. I think the Gospel music scene as a whole produced a lot of excellence and songs that are not only musically good this year but gave reverence to God,” she said.
“To be recognised to have the best song of the year in such a time is such an honour.”
The show host Yvonne Tivatye was pleased with the growth of the genre.
“This year the show witnessed massive growth in the country’s gospel music industry evidenced by how two of the top gospel acts in the country Janet Manyowa and Minister Mahendere upped their games.
“The quality of the sound and videos really went a notch higher and the premier gospel show in the country The Gospel Greats is so proud to be associated with such greatness,” said Yvonne Tivatye.
“On the show, we also saw fast-rising musician Everton Mlalazi continue to stand his ground on an upward trajectory. He won awards this year and collaborated with major regional players, and we are proud to have witnessed his growth.”
This year the Gospel Greats celebrated yesteryear musicians through a segment they called Gospel Greats Retro.
“This coming year we will bring current musicians in yet another exciting concept we shall share very soon,” added Yvonne.
