OSKIDO warona!!!
The much-awaited All White Party by DJ Oskido lived to its billing as the mix-master exceeded the hype.
Hundreds of people on Christmas evening thronged Stop Over Bar to see Bulawayo’s own DJ Oskido.
The gifted Oskido brought the house down at the show dubbed:

“The Third Annual Christmas Party,” as it kicked off the Kalawa Jazmee Christmas festivities in the country.
As early as 10pm, revellers had lined up at the gate waiting to get into the venue to see the turntable maestro.

The all white dress code was mostly adhered to by women who were in all sorts of outfits. It was fashion galore as women paraded stylish miniskirts, bum shorts and some were in fancy white dresses.

DJ Pepsi set the ball rolling when he took to the turntables, warming up the stage for his brother. DJ Pepsi played popular beats such as Y Tjukutja by Uhuru, Shela by Nokwazi feat Oskido and other tracks from the Kalawa stable.

Revellers danced the night away as the anticipation for the mix-master himself to get onto the stage continued building.
DJ Pepsi played from 11pm until 1am and did not disappoint.

At about 1.30am, Oskido, made a grand entrance. Local DJs, including DJ Farmer were wooing the crowd, when the Big “O” got onto the stage unnoticed.

The “master” grabbed the mic and greeted fans saying: “It’s good to be at home”.
A palpable current of excitement surged through the audience.

People, who seemed too drunk to take part in the proceedings, jumped to their feet and joined other fans who had rushed towards the stage.

Oskido dressed in all white, kick-started his set with Imali. The musical genius led the fans in singing the song.
Oskido displayed his versatility when he mixed house music tracks with hip-hop tracks, keeping the dance floor packed.

Yizolezo zinto ezingikhumbuza ubusha bami is a chant from his upcoming album that was well received.
It was a non-stop action packed  jamboree when Oskido was on the ones and twos. Exhausted fans were disappointed when the fun ended around 5am.

As revellers trickled away, some who spoke to Chronicle said they were thrilled to have had a Christmas present in the form of DJ Oskido.
“I had a great time and I cannot wait for the Kalawa Jazmee Homecoming Party at Queens on Friday,” said Julia Moyo from Magwegwe North.

Another fan said: “Oskido played my favourite track Tsama Ndebele kid’s mix. He has the midas touch. I enjoyed myself here,” said Natasha Jubane of Cowdary Park.
