Heroesplush extravaganza!

honour the late and living gallant fighters of the liberation war.
“We are already in Masvingo working on the logistics and we hope that it will be another exciting musical fete with something for everyone,” Major Anywhere Mutambudzi 
Major Mutambudzi, however, could not give the line- up of performing artistes saying they expected the creme de la creme of Zimbabwe’s artistes.
“At the moment we don’t have the list but we expect all the big names to take part at the Heroesplush,” he said.
Previously, the likes of Alick Macheso, Suluman Chimbetu, Energy Mutodi, Cde Chinx, Tambaoga, LMG Choir, Nicholas Zakaria, Charles and Olivia Charamba, Sandra Ndebele, Somandla Ndebele, Daiton and Josphat Somanje have showcased their musical talents at the Heroesplush.
But musicians like Cde Chinx of the “Roger Confirm” hit has been a regular at such national events, Cde Chinx whose music is synonymous with the emancipation of the black majority and the liberation war is a favourite of many. Some of his songs that remind many of the pre-independence era include “Chikopokopo”, “Hondo Yeminda” and the soulful “Vanhu VemuAfrica”.
Another brilliant performer is Tambaoga, who fuses mbira and guitar to bring out a medley of sounds that are uniquely Zimbabwean.
Born Last Chiyangwa, Tambaoga has thrilled many during the Heroesplush gigs and it would be good to see him back at this year’s edition.
Word doing the rounds is that Tambaoga has fallen on hard times but all that remains to be seen at the gala when he churns out his songs “Huori”, “Mudungwe”, “Chigaramapfihwa” and “Pfungwa Dezevanhu Ava” to mention a few. Another regular group is the Long Machine Gun or simply the LMG Choir from Bulawayo, who usually take music fans down memory lane with their heart-rending “Emoyeni”.
