In the midst of diverse opinions on the matter of
“ should a gospel artists perform at Cimfest ? “
The only persons point that caught my attention is that of Ace producer Tembi Cornel .
In his video he said a few things and I’ll highlight the words that caught my attention
He mentioned :
It is a music festival where artists go to showcase their talent
Artist go to hunt for sponsors and funders
Artist aren’t there to perform but gyrate the crowd
They’re there to showcase excellence
They aren’t there to minister but to perform ..
It’s all about the art ..
It’s business .. he spoke as a music exec ..
See if we all look at it from this angle , there will be no need for the brouhaha ..
Is there anything wrong with being a performer and putting on a show ? I don’t think so ..
Want to be a festival artist ? By all means pls be ..
From a branding perspective, you tell people how to classify you by the perception you give out ..
Everyone’s calling is different and everyone will not be who and what you expect them to be ..
If you go to an event to put up a show , it’s amazing .
But but y’all should dead the “ evangelism, light of the darkness talk “ dead it .
There’s light in every degreee which is expected to light up darkness in varying degrees .
The same light ( wax number ) needed to power a stadium is not thesame used in powering your room ..
Lit a candle in a hall , what will be the effect ? How many candles will you need to lit one big hall ? You will need So many for it to have an impact ..
You want to do evangelism at Cimfest ?
You should’ve come with a team to share tracks . Wear a tshirt that says Jesus is King
Sing evangelical songs . Songs that speak to the hearts of men and women . Songs that talk about repentance etc ..
But can you do that in such an event ? Nope . Why ? Cuz you are conditioned to excite the people . Make them dance , make them gyrate and sometimes you are tempted to water down your lyrics ..
But do I blame you ? Nope . It’s a damn show .
Some artists go to events to have a good time and have good pictures .. to each his or her own ..
So let’s be clear ..
There’s a difference between a Christian artists , gospel artists , gospel minister ..
