it emerged that they have since finished working on an album that will hit the streets in two weeks time.
Speaking on the sidelines of a live show they held on Saturday night at Museyamwa Night Club in Highfield, Daiton said he got assistance from his younger brother on the new album, something he had been looking forward to for a long time.
“I roped in Josphat to do the lead vocals on one of my songs, Chifukwa, and he gladly did that,” he said.
The song, Chifukwa is about an anguished man, who doesn’t understand why his relatives do not like his wife, whom he loves so much and is even prepared to die for.
On other songs, Josphat mainly concentrated on instrumentation and occasionally as a backing vocalist.
Daiton said the collaboration was among many things that the brothers plan to do while on stage. He however, dismissed the reunion of the two under the same band-Pengaudzoke.
“Sevanhu vajaira kubata mari dzavo tichiita zvatinoda, zvava kunetsa kuti tiite bhendi rimwe (We have become financially independent, it would be difficult to have one band).
On their personal relations, Daiton, who apparently sparked off a war of words with Josphat when he accused his younger brother of bewitching him said they were still trying to patch up their differences.
“Of course, we are doing all we can do mend our relationship. I know it might take long, but we are trying,”
“It cannot happen overnight, but I know one day it will,” he said.
Meanwhile, the show lived up to its billing as the two took turns to entertain the crowd, before going on stage together in the early hours of Sunday.
First to take to the stage was Josphat who belted both his old and new songs, before an appreciative crowd that probably wanted to know who had a competitive edge over the other. Some of the songs that took the revellers on the dance floor include Mukaranga, Jorijo, Seiko Kuonda, Abigail commonly known as Sochisi Yemombe, Handibvume (Haulume) and Sango remuchero, a song from the first album he recorded after parting with Daiton.
Like his brother, Daiton also gave revellers a good run for their money, when he played Pengaudzoke’s old school, like no other. Listening to him belting out Zvese Ndichakupa, Zvibate Pamhaka and Mai Linda, one could not help but reminisce on the old good days, when Pengaudzoke was still vibrant and rocking Marondera and its environs.
