VipaG – a word coined from the Swahili word vipaji meaning talent – is the name of the show which is expected to close registration for budding gospel singers on May 15, 2013.
Executive Producer Joe Muburi says the auditions of those short-listed will take place from May 24 to 26 and they will each be charged up to Sh400 to take part.
He said in a statement that the talent search is open to musicians from East and Central Africa, who are talented and dedicated Christians looking to develop their skills.
“The search is open to singers, rappers, choirs, praise and worship teams, bands and spoken word artists and has no age limit,” he says.
The winners of the show, whose start date is yet to be announced, will earn themselves Sh1m and the title of "Kenya’s Next Gospel Music Sensation".
Kenya’s gospel music scene has always been buzzing but recently, with several international musicians visiting and doing collaborations with local artists, the industry is ripe for plucking.
This is the first show of its kind in the region, and producer Joe Muburi is banking on it for good wholesome entertainment, avid curiosity and unbridled support.
He calls it the "Season of African Praise".
