SOUTH Africa-based Bulawayo gospel group Galile Labangcwele has released a seven track album, Lifikile Ilizwi, which it hopes will announce the group's arrival on the local music scene after a stint abroad.
It is the group's third album, coming after the release of their first two albums Inyama Namathambo in 2011 and Injabulo Yasekhaya last May.
The group is made up of nine members who belong to the Galile Ekuphumuleni denomination. The album was produced in South Africa where the group members went in search of greener pastures.
In an interview, one of the group's members, Ofias Vundla, said they hoped the album's release would cement their status as one of the best emerging gospel music groups to come out of Bulawayo.
"We are happy with where we are as agroup and our fan base is gradually growing," said Moyo.
He said the group had planned to stage many shows to promote their album in the city over the festive season but could not do so due to financial constraints.
The group has so far performed at Hillbrow Theatre and Diepsloot Theatre where they rubbed shoulders with big artistes from South Africa.
