adminThe 26-year-old poet-cum-music writer could be the next big thing to watch out for on the music scene. She is a force to reckon with in music who is out to take poetry to dizzy heights.
She is inspired by everyday life experiences and the marginalised people.
“Poetry and music are intertwined and sometimes the two can be used interchangeably for different reasons. For me the whole poetic-music concept came barely after I noticed that there is more to give to the less privileged other than food. Music itself can positively affect a group of people because it is the avenue I chose to focus on since I’m also a humanitarian worker par excellence,” she said.
Sympathy has written an anthology which was published in 2009 comprising 58 poems and she also featured in a book titled “As They Find A Way” written by Zimbabwean women in the Diaspora who include Wizzy Mangoma and Teurai Chanakira.
The album, which was recorded at Revival Studios in Hillside, translates poems into music that reflect on social issues affecting people regardless of their sex, age and background.
“If you have noticed the album is basically an ageless piece that sort to instil unity and togetherness among the people regardless of age or background. I figured out that music touches the souls of people in different parts that I cannot reach,” said Sympathy.
On the album, the budding poet gave her colleagues a rare opportunity to compose and sing the songs from the poems. Songs to look forward to include “2000 Years Ago”, a song performed by talented Sylvia Hapazari, “Come Lord Jesus”, performed by Tryie Ngwenya and the title track “On His Bosom”.
