It is that time of the year when most social debates revolve around annual music charts.
Enzo Ishall, the Zimdancehall artiste continues to claim his share in the music industry as he releases more hits.
Vault Cosmetics founder Jackie Mgido, has taken the kanjiva dance to Hollywood, making music industry personnel Suge J Knight dance to the Mbare beat.

I first heard a rendition of Enzo Ishall’s hit song, Kanjiva, when someone sent a video to me of a lady pastor who used it to illustrate something in her biblical sermon.
I eventually watched the original video for the song last night when someone again told me that the original song was currently a massive Ghetto (and beyond) anthem.
Having grown up in the ghetto myself, I was impressed by the guy’s ability to marry the music to what seems like a central message of a dance style which has various metaphors attached to it.
A dance craze, kanjiva, that has been playing popular in the Mbare high density suburb of Harare has gone viral and is spreading like wildfire across the country.
Enzo Ishall may be new in Zimdancehall but he is arguably the man-of-the-moment in the genre with Kanjiva dominating the local music scene.
