Despite being a rural setting, Pamusha Kadzunge burst into life as Mutare-based gospel singer — Shumba — took to the stage to dish out his hit songs like “Titeme Timene” and “Vana Sesu” among others.
For many people in Rusape, it was their first time to see the artiste in action and they could not have enough of him as he went through his paces.
Shumba, in line with the Easter theme, also used the same platform to give short sermons in between his act.
He preached about how Jesus Christ was crucified in order to set us free from sin.
Left-handed guitarist Madzibaba Zakaria also showed his Christian side by dishing out some of his songs that carry gospel themes.
The Senior Lecturer, as he is fondly known in the music circles, won the hearts of many fans and proved why he is one of the country’s leading performers.
His dancers popularly known as the Stork Birds, also enthralled revellers with their energetic dances.
The choice of the organisers to bring these artistes together was a wise one since the trio play music that carry gospel messages.
Zhakata also has his own catalogue of songs that induces deep thoughts about life.
The idea of the show, according to Manhanhanha, was to bring the community together to celebrate Easter.
“Music is a healer, and I want to believe that sharing these moments will brings us closer to God. We aim to make this initiative sustainable and hold similar shows in future,” Manhanhanha said.
It was the first time that the trio faced off at a show and revellers loved every moment of it.
