The two musicians are set to launch their albums “Calvary” and “Mhepo Inoperekedza (Ebenezzar part 2)” in South Africa this weekend after launching them in the country last month.In an interview, both the musicians said they are geared up for the
launch which is set to be an event of a lifetime.
The organiser of the event Rev Chivaviro who is based in South Africa said everything is now in place for the two-day event.
“Everything is now in place for the double launch and we are just waiting for the big day. We are looking forward to a successful launch.
“Our first show is going to be in Pretoria on Saturday and we are going to be at Germiston Prayer Centre on Sunday,” he said.
Chivaviro is optimistic of the show as he is going to combine forces with Shumba for the first time.
“For the first time, I am going to combine forces with Blessing Shumba who will also take the opportunity to launch his new album ‘Calvary’ in South Africa for the first time and this is going to be one of our best shows,” he said.
On the other hand the Psalmist as Shumba is popularly known in the music industry is ecstatic about the two shows and he thanked Chivaviro for coming up with the initiative.
“I would like to thank Rev Chivaviro, he is the one who helped put up everything and organised the two shows and I am just grateful for this opportunity which I am going to use wisely to market my new album.”
Meanwhile, Rev Chivaviro has since taken his new album “Mhepo Inoperekedza” around South Africa after the success of the Zimbabwean launch, and the album has opened new avenues for him after it was recently signed by a world renowned online music distribution giant Tunecore.
