Gaolathe releases gospel DVD

Gaolatlhe, a local gospel artiste, has dropped a DVD of his album called Maleo. Most people would agree that Gaolatlhe is indeed one of the most vocally gifted gospel singers in the country. The artiste lists renowned South African gospel singer Oleseng Shuping as one of his best friends and perhaps that is why they both sing the mukhukhu style, made famous by the Zion Christian Church (ZCC).

The DVD, which is shot in a scenic view, contains nine tracks and the two most outstanding ones are Melao and Hallelluya. Melao, which is the title track, talks about the 10 commandments, which the singer reckons many people have abandoned. He urges believers to repent and return to God. Hallelluya talks about heaven and heavenly worship and in it the singer tries to convince the listener to praise and worship God.

The song Nebuchadnezzar talks about the king of Babylon whom the Bible says was stiff-necked and only repented after facing the wrath of God.  Other tracks are Jehova ke modisa, A ke se tsene, Petros, Dira, Fa go le molemo and Thapelo. Gaolathe and his all-male backing vocalists Gobuamang Sam, Hendrick Sieswane, Kenny Macheng and Jeffrey Motlhanka are clearly gifted and their music promises to take believers and non-believers on a spiritual journey that will revive their souls.  Like most gospel singers, Gaolathe tends to be "preachy" and this might not go down well with some non-Christian listeners.
