Macheso to sample new songs
By Kundai Marunya
Arts lovers will this weekend be spoiled for choice owing to a series of events that will be taking place in and around Harare.
It will be a pot-pourri of events, with performing artistes, expected to dominate on the entertainment scene, that is already showing signs of recovery after a long hiatus.
Alick Macheso
Sungura maestro Alick Macheso will this weekend stage several shows as he samples some new songs from his upcoming album.
The musician, who emerged from his annual break last weekend to perform at Selmor Mtukudzi’s “Dehwe ReNzou” album launch, will serenade fans at Club Manake in Ruwa before sharing the stage with Allan Chimbetu at Warren Park 1 Bar tomorrow evening.
Macheso’s manager, Tich Makahamadze, said they were yet to decide on which songs to feature on the yet to be named album.
“This weekend we will be performing new songs that are still in the making as we prepare for another album. We are yet to record our album, so at this point we are not yet giving away information on what it entails or when it will be released,” said Makahamadze.
Macheso’s camp will receive a timely boost as lead dancer Selemani Mpochi a.k.a MaJuice returns to the stage following a short illness.
“MaJuice has been ill and that is why he did not perform with us last weekend. We are happy that tonight he will be rejoining the rest of the crew on stage,” said Makahamadze.
