Guardian Angel is taking over Kenyan Gospel music

Posted on by Branny

Guardian Angel is slowly taking up the crown of the best gospel artist in Kenya.So far he is the reigning King

Having  started off the year on a low note with little Music releases.

It  was not until two months ago that under the  Permanent Presidential Music Commission  that he released a patriotic song titled  “Kenya”.

Further he was on the verge of giving up in music. Reason?Music was not paying his bills as expected.

At that point he felt as though he was being tested.

Fortunately in few months ago, Gurdian Angel was unveiled, as the Brand Ambassador for Crowned Eagle Safaris. A travel agency based in Nairobi, Kenya that plans tours and travels for clients in Africa, Europe, Dubai, and Asia.

This was after doing the song “Mercy”.

Clearly  that became a sign of breakthrough for this gospel dancehall champion.

Then to top it all the patriotic song “Kenya” gave him a bigger platform as he got the chance to perform during Madaraka day celebrations in Narok.

His musical content

Kenyans  seem to be loving Guardian Angel by the day. Why? This is because compared to most contemporary gospel artists, Guardian Angel is unique.

In terms of content and lyrical scripting, he clearly know what his calling is. He invests so much in proper gospel music writing and I believe that is what gives him an edge among others.

A good example is his latest jam ‘Kuongozwa”.The song has a bit of  the ‘He leadeth hymn” that he coins around with it to gives us  the dancehall aspect of it and carries the weight with the Swahili verses.

With big hits like “hadithi” among others this is the guy that we should be celebrating as a country.That is when it comes to contemporary gospel music.

Sadly those that initially took the crown have had countless scandals that have had Kenyans question their music on whether its about gospel or them as individuals.

Guardian Angel is back with a new gospel hit dubbed Kuongozwa. He has been taking the gospel industry ad I must say that his energy never wears out.  To start with, he is among the few who has not had any scandals that has been the case with most artists.

This new single was composed and delivered by Guardian Angel. Also, he is super talented in what he does.

Guardian Angel performs his songs in a way that will capture ones attention. He has invested a lot in emotions. Actually, it makes one feel like they are walking hand in hand with God at the moment.

Guardian Angel taking the gospel industry far; Kuongozwa

Although the gospel industry is still struggling, Guardian Angel is doing wonders.

‘Kuongozwa’ message

Kuongozwa is simply means Whatever I do  Wherever I be  Still it’s God’s hand  That leadeth me. It is such a simple line derived from the Holy book and it means a lot to many.

Also, there is this stanza that really makes me feel good; Lord I surrender Withholding nothing Wacha roho wake nijae For by his sense He leadeth me. You know that moment at the altar. Further he says that he is giving his life to God and leaves nothing behind. What a beautiful song!

Production

In addition to the strong message in Kuongozwa , a lot has been done to make this jam great. First the audio producer did a good job. The audio and the beats are in sync. Also, mixing is well done. This is the work of Vicky Pondis of Simba Sound Production.

Secondly, the video has been given the best. The director is someone to be consulted by many. Directing for this video was done by Kevin Current. The video has met the international standards. To add on that, the choice of background is great and the costume.

As far as the gospel industry is concerned, Guardian Angel is really doing well. Kuongozwa gets a rating of 8/10.
