Kenyan Gospel Music and Dance Groups

The largest Gospel group In Kenya to really bust out into the music scene and succeed was Maximum Melodies which is made up of about 13 members (A bunch of them left and moved on). They hit the market with their debut album entitled "Mwamba" meaning that God is my rock {not Crocodile as some have confused}.
This album was a great success and even won the 2005 Kora Awards for the best spiritual group,beating Makoma.
Soon afterward's so many Churches started to have Dance group's which is a very good thing.One thing people should understand is that Creativity is very key to the success of every art work.The reason Maximum Melodies were able to succeed is that they did not try to imitate anybody but they came up with their own unique style of music and the industry really appreciated.
We'll but i have a small problem (and please understand that i am not in any way hating but i am just trying to air my opinion) so many groups that are imitating Maximum Melodies have come up and not only are they imitating the style of music but they are imitating their dressing and overall group brand.
I think that Creativity is very key in any ministry.Just because you admire your role model does not necessarily mean that you have to imitate everything about them. Some of this groups have even copied the names of their mentors and even splashed their own word at the end.My advice to these groups is to please try and be creative.I am not denying that you are talented but USE WHAT GOD GAVE YOU BECAUSE GODS GIFTS AND CALLINGS ARE UNIQUE.None of them has succeed like maximum melodies as they are unique in their own way.
The industry is not looking for another Maximum Melodies,Gospel Fathers or JOG-C but new talent.Please give us something new.Im saying this in love and please mark > THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION !!!!!
Well nevertheless i thank God that they are serving God and helping to spread his mission and purpose in all the earth. LOVE YA'LL
