Praise Singers And Preachers

As a child, I had a friend on Ocean Island (the island has since been evacuated). He went on to become a praise singer -- and sang my praises. I have often wondered where preachers in African Initiated Churches get their style (an example in this half-minute video). I recently realised: it is African praise singers. I simply hadn't had enough exposure to African praise singers to make the connection. OBSERVATION: The preacher is here speaking in Afrikaans, about the calling to Christian ministry. Essentially he says that he is under the burden to preach God's Word, as it is, come what may -- so that He may be glorified.
