The DVD is being directed by National Arts Merit Awards (Nama) video category winner Willard “Slimaz” Magombedze.
“I have temporarily suspended live shows so that I can have enough time to concentrate on Nevanji DVD shooting,” Chabvonga said.
“I decided to engage Slimaz because of his expertise and I am convinced that the DVD is going to make a positive impact on the market upon release.
“All the eight songs on the album will be included on the forthcoming DVD compilation.”
The Chitungwiza-bred musician said he expects to release the DVD on the market mid-December as a Christmas present for his fans.
The album Nevanji, recorded at Revival Studios in the capital and being marketed and distributed by local record label Diamond Studios, is a fusion of traditional instruments like mbira and drums.
