Zimbabwean music slowly dying

I was listening to music in my phone then l realised that all the music l had was foreign, there isn't even single song that is local. I asked my self if l was the only one and l decided to carry a survey on how many people still listen to Zimbabwean music and reasons behind everything. Its sad that out of 15people l asked if they had local songs on their phones, laptops and tablets or not l discovered that just 4people had at least 2songs that are local. It was shocking to me and l could not hesitate asking my self why is that people no longer listen to local music.

Emmaculate Dzivakwe, a student at Bulawayo poly tech said: " Zimbabwean music is boring, there is nothing to listen to. Only a few musicians are left in this country like Jah-praiser, Winky D and Freeman of which their music is of no interest to us." She added that the local musicians are not vibrant as the foreign musicians.

I wonder were our supper musicians have gone for example the queen of Bulawayo Sandra Ndebele. She has been so silent lately, killing the entertainment of the country. Not only her but many other musicians.
Some musicians has gone out of the country, some were affected by the economic situation in the country and they couldn't produce anymore albums as reported by Freemuse.

 Its also sad that some of the mostly interesting and entertaining musicians had a short life in this world. The Zimbabwean music industry lost Beater Mangethe as death took her away from us before we expected. Sadly this again did not start well for the industry as Michael Sekerani who had worked as Chairman of the Zimbabwe Union of Musicians (ZUM)  alongside Robson Nyanzira and Samaita Zindi, passed away on 1February.

It is really sad what is happening to the Zimbabwean music industry, its like it is facing a slow death. Musicians like

Meta Physics (MP), real name Herbert Qwela Schwamborn have left the country saying that he is looking for greener pastures in order to expand and be in an environment that would allow him to express myself musically without having to worry about the day-to-day hassle. "I think Zimbabwe has never been able to cultivate its biggest talents. It has never been able to support its breadwinners," he said in an interview with Showbiz reporter Yeukai Moyo. Hopefully the responsible authorities will take note and do something before Zimbabwe loses more musicians to foreign country than it had already done.
