Base Africa Media is proud to present multi Grammy award winning gospel duo Mary Mary to South Africa. The contemporary gospel duo are often credited for broadening the fan base of urban contemporary gospel in the 2000s, they introduced elements of soul music, hip hop, funk and jazz. Their first single “Shackles (Praise You)” is considered one of the pioneering songs of urban contemporary gospel music, this is the crossover hit song that placed them into the music scene being popular with gospel, R&B and Top 10 pop hit. The mighty duo has since graced the music industry with chart topping hits.
In March 2012 they started their own reality television series “Mary Mary”, on WE tv, and has been a success that they were in proceeds of recording another one which was set to air in December 2012. It is said that they want to launch season 3 of the show here in South Africa during their tour. In the same year they debuted their new single “Go Get It” from the greatest hits compilation. A music video was also recorded for the single and released on the 20th April 2012. The performance was shown in the season finale of their reality TV series.
Their tour to South African shores will see them performing for one night only in Johannesburg at the Rhema Bible Church in Randburg on the 13th of March. The guests attending will be spoiled with some of our talented local gospel stars who will only be mentioned closer to the time. “We are so delighted to finally bring Mary Mary to South Africa after months and months of planning and negotiating. Mary Mary’s schedule is so tight but they managed to fit us in on the 13th of March and they are so excited to come to South Africa and take the opportunity to launch their season 3 of their reality show as well” said Archie Tigere, the Director of Base Africa Media. “It’s our aim to continue to bring top international gospel acts to South Africa going forward, with Yolanda Adams already lined up for the next show which will be formally announced in due course” he concluded.
