By Alfred Tembo SEASONED Gweru-based jazz musician Wellington Tinashe “Poshi Davira” Davira has hinted at coming out of retirement to relaunch his music career.
Poshi Davira was forced to quit music after he was involved in a road traffic accident in Gweru and wanted to divide time between work and his family.
A lawyer by profession, Davira said his return was influenced by the growing demand for professional musical sets.
“I was recently invited to consider returning to the showbiz scene,” he told Standard Style.
“Initially, this is something l had never thought of all these years, but l had found myself effectively managing my duties and responsibilities as a father.
“I considered to return to take up the new challenge allowing my legacy to smile again in the eyes of the nation at a time when Gweru is desperate to create a platform that gives a jazz rhythm consistently.”

He said Gweru has for long tried to create top-billing hubs that host professional artistes yet those that had the chance could not adequately satisfy the appetite.
“Gweru has for long deemed sleepy and slow to the expectation of mature revellers,” Poshi Davira said.
“My coming into the showbiz is regarded a value owing it to the fact that l come with a ready market and weld permanent seats for jazz enthusiast who already kept track of jazz music gun fairs in the province.”
Davira is expected to official announce his come back with a solo gig set for Milan Family Restaurant in Gweru on a date yet to be announced.
