Mapfumo bounces back to the music industry

LEONARD Mapfumo is back in the music industry with a new album titled The Road to Israel after being off the radar for some time now.



The 10- track album which will reflect on people’s day-to-day lives including love, religion and my road to success, will be released on April 1. The musician who has been lately committed to his recording label Heshi Mfeshi which needed him more to write, record and groom new artistes has decided to give some time to his own music again.

Tracks to look forward on the album include Chitititi which features Mangen’a and Trey XL, and Mwana waMambo, featuring Cindy Munyavi and Mudiwa Mtandwa

It is a good thing that Mapfumo played a role in raising new talents such as Yoz, Yaka, Vannessa and Shinso. He is playing a critical role in the industry as the new talent are the future of the music industry.

If only we can see more musicians like Sandra Ndebele coming back then our music industry will not die as it seems to be going down the drain right now.

I remember how much l used to know more about Zimbabwean musicians than outside ones but right now, ask me about western musicians and l will tell you all about it but when it comes to Zimbabwean l seem to be less interested everyday that passes by. I know l'm not the only citizen who feels this way but what should we do when we see less of our local music.

Local musicians should also try to meet up with standard of other countries. We are now living in a global world and people now have easy access to global music so for local musicians to keep their local supporters entertained, they should also try to meet up with the standard in terms of quality music, quality videos that will interest the public.
