Tanzanian gospel icon, Christina Shusho, is in Kenya ahead of a highly anticipated New Year’s concert, where she is set to deliver a powerful performance.

The renowned ‘Ning’are’ hitmaker revealed that she will be teaming up with veteran comedian and radio host Churchill Ndambuki for a memorable gospel showdown on the night of December 31, 2023.

Upon her arrival in the country, Shusho took a moment to share insights into her musical inspiration, emphasizing the influence of various Bible verses on her creative process.

“Kila mtu ana njia yake and that is my creativity. I found people reading the Bible when I was born which is why I see as a good method. It is long-lasting, and even the next generation will be taught the same way. It is a good way, and I chose to focus my creativity there to serve my God,” she expressed.

Shusho’s distinctive style, which involves incorporating direct quotes from the Bible into her songs, has sparked a spirited debate among listeners.

Many hail her as a beacon of authenticity and spiritual depth in the gospel music industry.

Twitter user @Comradefyat commended Shusho’s music for its direct biblical inspiration, emphasizing its capacity to inspire, bless, and motivate listeners.

Similarly, @Peteryoungross sees Shusho as a divine vessel, echoing the sentiment that her music is a true reflection of God’s word.

However, Shusho’s approach has not escaped criticism, with some questioning whether using direct quotes from the Bible in songwriting amounts to plagiarism or originality.

@AllanObare4 appreciated Shusho’s adherence to direct biblical verses, expressing a desire for more gospel artists to follow her lead.

Meanwhile, @KijanayaNimmoh highlighted the complexity of Shusho’s method, acknowledging the challenge of delivering the message without altering the purity of the Gospel.
