Gospel music spotlight : Midnight Crew

From now on, I will try to consistently put the spotlight on African musicians (especially those who sing gospel) who are doing fantastic things in music. My first choice for this new category is Midnight Crew (formerly known as Clergyman and the Midnight crew). I picked their music because whenever I play that cd in my house, everybodi just dey shake bodi!! They seem to be one of the hottest groups in Nigerian gospel music at the moment. And when they hit London last year, churches (at least the African ones) could not get enough of them. So diafore, without too much yapping, I present Midnight crew.


Igwe: (Language - yoruba and Igbo)





Surulere:
(play on the story of the Prodigal son - Language: yoruba)





Kelenume ya (Language: Igbo)





Yin Baba Logo (Language : yoruba)





So Worthy (South African style)





Aren't they fantastic? Please note that this is their second album. You can find their older stuff on youtube under the name Clergyman and the midnight crew.

If you are interested in making a purchase, I can help you out as well. This album can be found on cdbaby here on Myafricanbargains here and you can also find the dvd containing all these lovely videos here

Enjoy!!
