He encourages other artistes to work together and serve their fans in their various capacities.
He sings about how musicians should admit that fans have different tastes for music and desist from unnecessary competition.
When Jah Prayzah played the song at a recent show, the crowd went beserk and sang along to his exciting lyrics.
He mentions Oliver Mtukudzi, Alick Macheso, Kapfupi, Sulumani Chimbetu, Peter Moyo and Charles Charamba as fellow musicians that have a mandate to entertain fans.
“Some fans got to Tuku’s show to enjoy katekwe music while Sulumani is entertaining people with his dendera. Others are going to Macheso’s shows for the zora butter dance, Kapfupi is making his comic moves on stage and Moyo is keeping up with his toita basa slogan while Pastor Charamba sings about blessings,” go the lyrics in part.
