It runs in the blood- Simon Chimbetu's daughter to launch an album

Sulumani and Saiwe Chimbetu singing together.
It seems like the love of music runs in the blood for the Chimbetu family, as Saiwe Chimbetu, carries her late father Simon Chimbetu's singing legacy. Saiwe will be launching  her second seven-track gospel album, Simba Rekutenda , on Friday 21 March at Kingston House in Harare.

Admission to the event is free. Live shows are expected to follow the launch of this album

Unlike the other Chimbetu members, Saiwe is the only one who sings gospel music. Not only does she follow the footsteps of her brothers Sulumani and Tryson Chimbetu in their carry the legacy of their father,  she is also the first female in the family to record.

Simba Rekutenda comes after the success of her debut six-tracks Shoko RaJehova.
The album which is a fusion of Dendera and rhumba beats. If composed of tracks, Anopindura, Handisarire, Ndodaidza, Sesemere, Kushandura, Anondidana and Munoera.

This should come as a challenge and inspiration to other musicians in Zimbabwe with the love of music in their blood. It is the role of these musicians to keep alive the Zimbabwean music industry which is at the verge of falling apart. Instead of musicians leaving the country to search for greener pastures, they should at least try to maintain and boast our own industry in Zimbabwe. If only musicians can find new forms of entertaining the public,instead of letting the industry die. 

The government should also take part in sponsoring the young upcoming talents and let them shine in the country before they decide to look for that sponsorship and financial support outside the country

KEEP THE ZIMBABWEAN MUSIC BURNING BY SUPPORTING NEW TALENTS.
