We want people to see this as the beginning of a fruitful journey between Goshen City and the arts industry in the globally. In this journey, we will partner with every artist both locally and internationally,” he said.
In his remarks, Gwamba said organizing a concert is financially strenuous as such his management has been knocking on various institutions and individuals’ seeking support and Goshen City is just one of them.
“I am so thankful to Goshen City. In the days coming, we will also be unveiling several other companies that have come forth to support our concert. We always strive to transparent to our sponsors and also to our fans,” he said.
On his part, Piksy said he appreciates the support that has been rendered by Goshen City.
