Afro-centric rhythm, this song embodies the irresistible energy typical of African praise music.
Dr. John Mo recalls the demand from the gospel music community and his fans for a more danceable track, inspiring him to create “Kabongwe” with guidance from the Holy Spirit. He shares that the inspiration for the song came during a choir rehearsal, saying, “I heard the rhythm, felt the vibe, and knew I had to pencil it down for the next studio session.” In Zulu, “Kabongwe” translates to “thank you” or “praise you,” depending on context, and Dr. Mo infused this spirit of gratitude into every beat and lyric.
The song is his heartfelt expression of thanks for God’s blessings, favour, and mercy in his life.
Dr. Mo believes “Kabongwe” is ideal for thanksgiving and praise, as its lyrics resonate with anyone seeking to give God the glory for His marvelous deeds.
