Angels Of The Lord to launch album

Kora Awards nominee, Anges d’Eternel (Angels of the Lord), a dynamic gospel group, will on Sunday July 8 launch a thirteen-track album titled “Africa” at the Osu Presbyterian Church Hall in Accra.


The group, which includes eleven musicians from Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria and the Central African Republic, intends to convey a message of restoration and commitment to the service of the Almighty God.


Its renditions which are multi-cultural in nature bring together flavours from several parts of the African continent, thus enriching the quality of their compositions and lyrics, which have received wild cheers and applause from enthusiastic crowds.


With strong determination to evangelise through praise and worship, Anges d’Eternal has over the years won a number of souls for the Kingdom of God through song ministrations and other performances in a number of African countries.


The group has participated in numerous concerts, TV programmes and multi cultural festivals in the West African Sub-region. In 2004, Anges de l’Eternel organized an Ivorian-Ghanaian grand concert in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire, which was dubbed Jericho 2004.


Jericho 2004 was meant to call for divine intervention for Cote d’Ivoire for it to be delivered out of the crisis that had engulfed it. The concert brought together over 10 gospel musicians and groups including two Ghanaians.


Since its formation in 2003, Anges de l’Eternel has managed to carve a niche for itself. In 2005, the group won awards such as “Top d’Or” for best christian musical group and “SAFAM COM” award for best group at the prestigious “Eburnie Music Awards”.


The young group was nominated also for “Gaining Tiercé” Prize in respect of the best three artistic groups in La Cote d’Ivoire for 2005 and also found itself among 12 other nominees for a revelation prize.


Dubbed “Lets Unite Africa Through Gospel Music”, the launch would as well feature a number of Ghanaian gospel stars including the multiple award winner, Christian Love.
