Congratulations to Rebecca Malope! She will be honored September 18, 2009 by the Crown Gospel Music Awards for her 25 years as an artist and mentor in the gospel music community.

Recognized as South Africa’s “Queen of Gospel Music,” Malope received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Crown Gospel Music Awards last year.

If you have never heard Rebecca sing, you owe it to yourself to listen. Although you may not understand the words, the music, energy, harmonies and joyous repetition are so palpable that it really doesn’t matter.
