Chipaz keeps fans guessing

the most?
Guess what? Such a scenario is likely to happen this Friday at the Chitungwiza Aquatic Complex when Tuku and Macheso lock horns at a gig that features an as yet to be named guest performer.
So far on the bill are Tuku, Macheso and Jah Prayzah but according to show organiser Partson Chimbodza of Chipaz Promotions, there have been calls from fans to include other names at the gig.
“We are still trying to find out the best guest artiste to feature on the bill because the names that have been thrown around include Suluman Chimbetu, Tryson Chimbetu, Freddy “Kapfupi” Manjalima and others.
“So for now the fans have to wait until the day of the show and see for themselves who is going to be the guest artiste.
“The winter chill is upon us but we are hopeful that the Aquatic Complex is ideal for this type of show,” he said.
The gig will be one of the many shows for Tuku this year who has not taken a breather since his debut appearance at the Uhuru Gala.
At the gala Tuku, whose totem is “Samanyanga”, put up a vintage performance taking fans from his breakthrough year 1979 to about early 1980s.
But what was the most appealing twist was the famous “reunion” between Tuku and his dancer/vocalist Eric “Piki” Kasamba.
The two sang and danced just the way they used to do it back in the days before Piki retired from public performances.
On the other hand, Macheso — who is popularly known as “Extrabasso” — is no pushover especially when it comes to stage work and choreography.
Almost always “Extrabasso” leaves fans crying for more with his fancy footwork and Borrowdale dance which he has perfected over the years.
So far the gig has all the makings of a thriller and coming in “Razor Wire’s” backyard he will be out to protect his territory.
It remains to be seen whether the guest performer on Friday night will live up to expectations of the crowds as Tuku ends the month on a high note.
