Should gospel artistes perform at nightclubs or not?
As Kenyans droned their favorite whiskey and enjoy the music, it is becomes evidently clear that gospel music is not only growing fast but that it is entering places never imagined before.
Love Ballards, hip-hop and reggae that were notorious associated with night clubs have fully been replaced with gospel music.
On one hand, those who play the gospel music in clubs say that today it sounds almost similar to secular music from the way it is produced.
It is fast, easier to dance to and the lyrics easier to follow. The youth who are the greatest followers of gospel music give various reasons for their love for the music.
Bahati’s performance at a nightclub could be easily mistaken for a scene at Sabina Joy, if you get the drift. Dancers twerked on stage as the gospel singer and his cronies performed.
Some people condemned Bahati when the photos from his club performance leaked online, whereas others simply defended the singer.
On whether gospel singers should hold concerts in clubs, Drake Guyana says, “Yes they should.” He adds that at the end of the day, they are preaching the gospel which is a good thing. “They also would get to make a lot of money during the concerts and money is money no matter where it is made.” Lucida Keya says, “No. Light and darkness can never mix; they should stick to churches, church conferences and crusades, which is where they belong.” Lisa Muthoni agrees with Lucida saying, “No. They would need to define whether they are doing it for money or singing for God. If it is for money, then they should not call themselves gospel artists, but if it is for God, then night clubs is not the way to go.”

I may not be @BahatiKenya ‘s Fan but i beg to stand by him on this. I believe he went to Minister to a lost flock and out of this act one or two might change their way of life. You dance to gospel song at clubs give Bahati a break. pic.twitter.com/rvkBtdP483

This issue of people defending Bahati in the name of”he was fishing out sinners as part if his mission” Did he pray with them?did he even talk about God’s kingdom?Can a drunk person remember seeing bahati?
If at all it was gospel he could’ve perfomed earlier enough!
