World renowned South African gospel and
worship leader, Lionel Petersen, is set to perform alongside Sonnie Badu, at
the much anticipated “Sonnie Badu Peace Concert”.
The concert, billed for 1st December,2012
at the Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre, is set to be the
biggest gospel music concert to be staged in Ghana, and the addition of one of
the most respected acts on the world wide gospel music circuit will go a long
way to increase the concert's hype.
Famous for mega gospel hits such as
“Jabulani Africa” “When the Righteous Prosper" "Peace"
"Instruments of Your Peace" and "Behold the Lamb", Lionel
Petersen is renowned not merely for the soul inspiring music he's churned out
since the 80's but also for his abilities as a worship leader and a preacher .
Ironically, he began his career as a pop
singer with legendary South African pop group,The Invaders, from 1969 to 1971.
He has collaborated with artists like
Chevelle Franklin, Neville D and Judith Sepuma and sang on the soundtrack for the
2008 feature film Hansie.

season of the ONE Gospel reality competition Shine in his native South Africa.
This will be Lionel's second visit to
Ghana, and it is expected that his presence and subsequent performance will
thrill audiences on the night of 1st December,2012.
Meanwhile, organizers have revealed that
the list of local acts to perform at the mega gospel concert will be released
in the coming weeks.
