Shame Mabvudzi, the other part of the once popular Shame and Nathan, has announced he is still in the music industry and is currently working on a new album from his base in South Africa.
The young man’s deep lyrical content and easy-flowing hooks, combined with different African influences and a mixture of other sounds from different parts of the world, created an intact Afro soul sound which lifted the duo to prominence with their signature tune Ndofara.
From his Cape Town base the Zimbabwe-born Afro-soul artist revealed he was working on a new album with Nelt-T, a South African music producer.
Before going solo, Mabvudzi worked with Nathan at the advent of urban grooves era with the duo recording hit songs like Aripo Wangu, Ndofara, Mafaro Chete and Taidanana among others.
In 2003 he recorded his first successful solo album titled Hazvinei which had songs like Hazvinei, Ndamirira Ndaneta and Boogey Jive. In 2010 he released his second solo album titled The Journey that has mainly been sold online.
Mabvudzi said he was working on his third album titled African Dream and hopes to step onto the African market with this offering.
“I want to be a musician who can be accepted in Africa instead of just making stuff for the Zimbabwean market.
“My hope is that this project will open that ground for my music career,” he said.
