GOSPEL musician Morline Kuwana, who is better known as “The Miriam of our Time”, has once again released an album

GOSPEL musician Morline Kuwana, who is better known as “The Miriam of our Time”, has once again released an album titled Zvibvunze where she encourages women empowerment through the track Mukadzi Ngaasimudzirwe.

The six-track album has other songs such as Gore Richitanga, Richipera Ndomutenda, Wosara Panyika, Muroyi Ndiani and Toriona Sei Denga together with Mukadzi Ngaasimudzirwe and two other bonus tracks, Be Still/Mira and Isimuke Zimbabwe.

However, of special note is the track that advocates women empowerment where the songbird passionately encourages the recognition of women and their abilities to be recognised in every place that is usually dominated by males.

“Three-quarters of the times it seems women have to convincingly prove themselves to make it through in positions of influence as compared to men,” said Kuwana.

She said in all sectors it seemed women had to put extra effort in showing their capabilities as compared to men and yet in reality both sexes could not do without each other.

The musician said her song was not in any way political, but it was meant to encourage everyone to realise the worth of women and take them more seriously.

“To me a man is and will always be the head of any household just as the bible suggests, but women should be taken seriously just like the neck on a human body: both the head and neck cannot do without each other,” she added.

Kuwana said women were enterprising and she believed that if they were given their rightful places by and in society nations would flourish.

She said her song was lobbying for equal distribution and acceptance of women in high positions or in leadership roles to make the world a better place for everyone.

“In other cases I have realised that women have become their own enemies by pulling each other down, but I believe that we should stand by each other and empower each other,” said Kuwana.

Her debut album Mwari Utatu which saw her breaking an entry into the gospel music scene was produced under Monolio Studios, the stable of renowned jazz artiste and producer Clive “Mono” Mukundu, a few years ago.

She then went on to release a 3D video for the track Zimbabwe, in which she highly praised the country. Zimbabwe was a song that came form of a prayer of restoration for the country; also describing the beauty of its resorts and people.

The songbird then went on to release the tracks Mira/Be Still and Isimuke Zimbabwe as a festive season gift for her fans.
