Mtukudzi has a history of attracting legion of fans at most of his shows. He is currently riding high with his album Sarawoga that was released in September as part of his 60th birthday celebrations.
Also riding on the wave of a new album’s success is Sulumani Chimbetu whose new release Syllabus has become the talk of town.
Chimbetu, who recently toured the United Kingdom, has been on top of his game for the better part of this year. On the other hand, Winky D, who is popularly known as the “Ninja
President” will be looking forward to bank on his exceptional stage expertise to steal the thunder from Tuku and Sulu.
Young Mataruse will be out to prove that he is now his own man after a couple of years under Tuku’s shadow.
The Pakare Paye Arts Centre-trained afrojazz crooner is one of the fast rising artistes from his genre.
He seems to be following his mentor’s footsteps.
Considering that most companies are shutting down for the festive season tomorrow, the show is likely to be memorable.
Show organiser Josh Hozheri said they had enlisted artists that appeal to different age groups at the gig to have a mixed entertainment bag.
“There will be something for the mature and something for the youths,” said Hozheri.
“Most of Mtukudzi’s fans are mature while Chimbetu caters for various age groups. Winky D’s music mainly appeals to the youths and Mataruse will come in representing the growing crop of talented young musicians.”
Hozheri said other sponsors, namely Mega and Stratia Beverages, will also give away a number of prizes as Christmas presents for the fans.
“Tickets for the show are available at Chicken Slice outlets, Cellone Shops, Queensdale Liquor Centre and Jazz 105. Anyone who buys an original ticket stands a chance to win the prizes on offer.”
