World renowned South African gospel artiste and worship leader Lionel Petersen has arrived in Ghana for a highly anticipated Let Peace Rain concert with Sonnie Badu.
The concert is billed for this Saturday, December 1, at the Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre.
The event is expected to be the biggest gospel music concert to be staged in Ghana, and the arrival of the South African gospel legend is sure to cement the readiness of the organizers to give Ghanaians a memorable show.
Famous for mega gospel hits such as Jabulani Africa, When the Righteous Prosper, Peace, Instruments of Your Peace and Behold the Lamb, Lionel Petersen is renowned not only for the soul-inspiring music that he has churned out since the 1980s, but also for his abilities as a worship leader and a preacher.
Ironically, he began his career as a pop singer with legendary South African pop group The Invaders from 1969 to 1971.
He has collaborated with artists like Chevelle Franklin, Neville D and Judith Sepuma and sang on the soundtrack of the 2008 feature film Hansie. In 2010, he was a judge on the first season of the One Gospel reality competition Shine in his native South Africa.
This will be Lionel’s second visit to Ghana, and it is expected that he will bring his best material Saturday night. He will be sharing the stage with Sonnie Badu, Ohemaa Mercy, Cwasi Oteng, Nii Okai and DSP Kofi Sarpong.
Meanwhile, tickets for the concert are available at GHC40 for regular admission and GHC70 for VIP. They can be purchased at the Joy FM front desk, the Silverbird Lifestyle store, Sunny FM, the TTC head office in West Airport and at the Empire Entertainment head office in Lartehbiokorshie.
