HARARE – Sultry songstress Cynthia Mare who relocated to Zimbabwe in May this year will be launching her new album on Tuesday at the Maestro Restaurant in Harare.
Ever since the death of her mother in July 2011, Cynthia has reinvented her music, ditching the ‘Not Another Diet’ hip-hop genre to something more Afro-pop and Zimbabwean. Her new album is called “Songs My Mother Loved”.
