The upcoming Christmas Concert with Sinach and Friends is eliciting reactions from gospel acts billed to perform on December 12, 2021, at The Monarch Events Centre, Lekki, Lagos.
Staged by Nigerian gospel artist Sinachi Kalu Okoro, aka Sinach, who has become a familiar face in many global Christian congregations, the show was conceived to deliver wholesome family entertainment during this yuletide season.
“These sets of ministers have blessed me so much,” she said at a recent press briefing. “These are people, who, when you come to watch them, you go back inspired. We want wholesome entertainment that is inspirational and godly while pointing people in the right direction as to what Christmas is all about. It is about family, joy, peace, and faith, and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Veteran singer Onyeka Onwenu, who was recently confirmed in the lineup, commended the concert’s goals.
“The concert is a wonderful idea to end the year with such a bang! We kind of started with a whimper. We had so many issues: we had just come out of the COVID-19 situation, #EndSARS, and all the limitations that they brought along. The concert is a show anyone can’t afford to miss. When do you have this number of artists at this level get together for Christmas? It doesn’t happen often.”
Anticipating the day, based on the current progress achieved so far, vocal powerhouse Ayo Vincent said: “Christmas Concert with Sinach and Friends is something for the books. It is a programme that everyone should attend. It is going to be a night of excellent, spirit-filled music, dance, and much more. It is an incredible honour to be one of two Nigerians to be ministering alongside great international artists that night.”
Event Coordinator Hillary Vincent says he looks forward to the concert achieving one key goal: to remind Nigerians of the true essence of Christmas.
Ticketed, the organisers assured the general public that all COVID-19 health guidelines will be observed, especially with the emergence of the Omicron variant.
Other artists in the event’s lineup include Todd Dulane (USA), Adlan Cruz (Puerto Rico), Da’dra GreatHouse (USA), and the Gosgem Choir.
