BUDDING musicians in Mutoko’s rural areas of Makaha and Mudzi have been given a lifeline to boost their careers following the establishment of Jiddim Entertainment.
A brainchild of lawyer Jivas Mudimu, the company boasts of a recording studio and several entertainment joints.
Jiddim Entertainment’s management has roped in the services of seasoned producer Samcris who was behind several hit songs of the late Soul Jah Love.
Mudimu, who was born and bred in Mutoko, said their studio has already created a riddim named Jiddim riddim that will feature artistes from Mutoko and Mudzi.
“We are inviting artistes to come and record for free on a new riddim between November 18 and 20.
“It is a chance for new artistes to showcase their talent through the riddim,” he said.
Mudimu was confident their initiative would be a game-changer in fighting drug and substance abuse in the area.
“We are happy that this move will also play a part in shaping up the youth by keeping them busy so that they do not indulge in drugs,” he added.
Mostaf, T Makwikwi and Monyourous are among those who have since shared the stage with upcoming artists in Mutoko.
Ras Caleb will meet an array of Mutoko chanters this Friday when he visits the area. Some of the new names from Mudzi and Mutoko making waves include T Youngman, Bee Man, and Ninja Notice.
With established chanters visiting the stable, budding artists from Mutoko have a chance to learn from the best.
Meanwhile, the stable has been approached by the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services to record inmates.
