The 'gospel reggae' tag may have convinced some potential purchasers that the Christian church had finally moved belatedly into Trenchtown Rock territory. But there's nothing 'lovers' let alone 'ragga' on this set. Rather, 'Keep On Singin" is Nigerian pop-gospel and despite many of the tracks having a light chuga-chuga rhythm the claim to gospel reggae is completely inac­curate. But don't let the misbilling put you off. Ara-machi (which means Grace Of God in a Nigerian dialect incidentally) is a band founded by Nigeria's Cal­vary Chapel pastor Austen Ezenwa. The vocals are handled with soulful aplomb by Gail Moore, a lady who's sung BVs with Phil Collins, while the material is surprisingly eclectic, even taking in songs from the pen of ace American songsmith Bob Bennett. Cultural diversity rules

Hi Gail, thanks for being a blessing to the body of Christ. I love your music and I've been searching for this particular song "Not by might, not by power, but by my spirit says the Lord"... By the anointing or something like that. I don't know which album it is. Could you please help me obtain a copy? Thanks and continue to do what God has called to do in His Kingdom. Keep the faith for our God is faithful!
