The Catholics are always ahead of the game one way or another. They are the fathers of democracy; the conclave is the revolutionary oldest known plebiscite in our civilisation and the rest of the ‘‘democrats’’ followed St Peter’s protégés in the hugely successful process.
In the eighties, when recording commercial music and immortalising hymns in music was not a thing, choirs like St Theresa in Seke launched their studio albums.
Decades later and enter Father Mobie Musakatiza, the Catholic priest who has now weeded out the signature Catholic sound from his music and revolutionised it, taking out the generic DNA and doing a great job while he is at it.
The cleric released his juggernaut album late last year along with the title track’s video ‘‘Usacheuke’’ and chances are it is on the Pope’s playlist.
Why? It might actually be on a playlist somewhere up high on the most Supreme Being’s IPod.
Either way, Father Mobie has started rising with his video drop for ‘‘Usacheuke’’ which has started reverberating on the social media platforms on which it is being shared, liked and watched by keen Christians from across denominations.
Featuring seven songs, ‘‘Usacheuke’’ has the following tracks namely ‘‘Usacheuke’’ (title track), ‘‘Garai Nesu’’, ‘‘Vana Vangu’’, ‘‘Ndiye Mwari’’, ‘‘Tinokunamatira, Uyai’’ and ‘‘Mweya Mutsvene’’.
Father Mobie is by no means a freshman, in 2011 he released his first album titled Makandikomborera, and he has not looked back ever since. A new sounds beckons for the Catholic music lover no doubt.
