DJ Stavo’s video launch for Ingoma came and went without fans seeing the actual video of the song he produced with South African house artiste Shota.Though the event was meant to be a video launch, all revellers could see on the flat screen televisions dotted around Club 40 in Bulawayo were delayed Barclays Premiership matches.
Quizzed why the Ingoma video had not been shown to revellers as part of the launch, Stavo’s manager Prince Dambanevana declined to comment but said Stavo’s fans should look forward to a huge project they were working on.
The video was supposed to crown the great work Stavo did last year. The failure to play the video however did not disappoint revellers as they took to the dance floor and danced to DJ Stavo’s mixes all night long.
Accompanied by his wife Kudzai Alifa, DJ Stavo started his set after midnight. The self-proclaimed Kwekwe Hustler had the crowd on their feet as he played a mixture of South African house and European house.
He then fused up house beats with Zimbabwean dancehall, with tracks like Ita Seunononga, Mawayawaya, and Takaipa Takaipa among others. When Stavo played his signature tune Ingoma, revellers were all on their feet.
Resident DJs Mzoe, Humble Kid, Ash T, Phibz and Fritz took over the turntables after Stavo and they did not disappoint as they managed to keep revellers packed on the dance floor.
World over, deejaying has taken a new face as it is now about marketing oneself with self-produced tracks.
Most South African and European DJs are successful because of the albums which they produced including European David Guetta who most people knew after he produced a track titled When love takes over with Kelly Rowland.
