Zimmetro — Musicians Joe Wailer and Eyahra Mathazia’s latest reggae albums will appeal more to their fans than to those who have never listened to their music. The reason is you have to be a patient listener to be able to appreciate and enjoy the music, which is certain to have something to strike everyone’s fancy. I took time to listen to the two albums – Wailer’s “Not Afraid” and Eyahra’s “Jah Worx” – and, quite honestly, both artistes are good on the beat but when it comes to lyrics, it takes a whole lot of patience.

Zimmetro — Most people who witnessed Prince Tendai Mupfurutsa’s burial in Magunje last Saturday were left wondering whether relations had been cordial between sungura musician Alick Macheso and the late barbed wire maestro. Macheso was conspicuously absent during the burial of his fellow artiste, despite holding a show the previous night just a stone’s throw away from Mupfurutsa Village, where Prince Tendai was laid to rest. Of late, Macheso and Prince Tendai were tight buddies as seen at the Akon/Sean Paul concert where the Orchestra Mberikwazvo was given the same treatment as the American-based singers.

HARARE — In an interesting move that could suggest that Zimbabweans in the Diaspora are growing homesick, Audius Mtawarira has said he is coming back home. The formerly Australia-based Zimbabwean musician played as a supporting act at Energy Mutodi’s launch of his second album, Kumasese at the Rainbow Towers. Audius left fans screaming for more after singing hit song Muchandiona off his latest album Day Like This. In an interview with the StandardLife&Style, Mtawarira said he is relocating to Zimbabwe with a view that there is an atmosphere of business going on and it would not make sense to be left out.

HARARE — When former Radio Three DJ Peter Johns left Zimbabwe to go to Britain in 2004, he gave me all his 2 000 plus vinyl records which he said he no longer needed as he was now using compact discs.I had made a collection of my own over the years of over 3 000 vinyl records, so you can imagine what kind of catalogue I have in vinyl records. The problem now is that for the past 10 years, I have not been able to play any of my 5 000 plus records because I cannot find a stylus for my record player.
