Daniel Ngwira releases compilation album

 

One of the tracks that has appealed to his fans is titled “Tine Basa”, a ditty which features the talents of Diana Samkange and Alexio Kawara.
Another favourite is “Hondo PaSalon”, an imaginative piece of music laden with social commentary. The way Ngwira lays his vocals over a lingering rhythm is catchy.

The comical song centres on the small talk that women engage in once they go for their hair-dos. Each woman brags about what her husband has been doing for her, how he is such a wonderful and caring man, until they find out at the end that they are all dating the same man.

On “Shura Ranhasi” and “Tine Basa”, Ngwira addresses social ills, encouraging people to stay out of trouble since he is inspired by everyday events.
Ngwira can easily be described as a philanthropist and a firm believer in love, peace, unity and harmony. He has sung about Aids in “Usacheme”, “Love in One Morning” and even takes his fight against piracy in “Tine Basa” which make up the album.

Having cut his teeth around the turn of the millennium, with the release of “Usacheme”, Ngwira has been around long enough to know the pitfalls, lurking dangers and challenges that face performing artistes.

After the release of “Usacheme” in 2001, which got a lukewarm reception, Ngwira went underground, only to resurface in 2005 with the release of his second album, “Zvinofamba Sei?”

Two years later, he released “Madzokoi” at 30 and then the chart-topping “Kusalon” in 2010.
It was the last album which was successful that it has spawned a number of follow-up tracks, such as “Hondo Pasalon”.
