New contemporary musician, Anderson Mamimine, will launch his debut album Hell on Earth tonight at Book Caf.
Mamimine used a collaborative approach and worked with various artists including Oliver Mtukudzi, Victor Kunonga, Willis Wataffi, Chiwoniso Maraire, Dereck Mpofu, Albert Nyathi and Razor Cut from South Africa.
According to Mamimine the album was inspired by disasters the human race finds itself in.
I was mainly inspired by the Dzivaresekwa train-bus disaster which left many children without parents in March 2007, said Mamimine.
I also sing about disasters that claim many lives every day, most of which are man-made. That is one of the topical messages that people are preaching the world over.
Mamimine is backed by The Positive Choir which is made up of mainly orphans.
I am passionate about children and seeing these disadvantaged children made me feel compelled to do something towards their welfare, he said.
Before I embarked on this project, I was into music as a hobby. Now I sing because I feel there are few musicians who spread mature messages that have a direct bearing on the lives of people.
