Taking a Stand for Gospel| Nathaniel Bassey, Frank Edwards & other Gospel Ministers Launch “the Minstrels Platform” Powered by eTranzact
From Africa to Europe, Gospel music from Nigerian gospel minsters has
filtered into churches, homes and schools via different unaccounted
sources; illegal cds, USB devices, monetized digital uploads by pirates
with almost zero revenue coming back to the artistes who have invested
time and effort in creating the content.
The Minstrels platform wants to eliminate the use of unconventional means of music distribution, tackling piracy and providing a multi-platform solution for consuming content, promoting gospel music and giving more control to how the gospel minstrels distribute their work.
