FAST-RISING contemporary musician Jah Prayzah continues to cut across boundaries as he has become one of the most sought after artists with a number of collaborations under his belt. This time, the towering Harare artist has partnered with Bulawayo’s own fiery dancer and musician Sandra Ndebele on a promising song, Love YeMshona NemuNdebele.
The track encourages love between the two tribes.
In an interview, Ndebele said since time immemorial there has been a lot of stigma attached to intermarriages between two of Zimbabwe’s prominent cultural groups.
“It is sad for lovebirds when they are denied the chance to spend their lifetime together by parents due to cultural differences.
“I decided to compose a track to promote unity by encouraging parents to allow their children to follow their hearts,” said Ndebele.
The track is part of the forthcoming album by Ndebele to be released later in the year.
In the track, Ndebele pleads with an aunt to allow her to marry her Shona lover while on the other hand, Jah Prayzah also professes his love for a Ndebele woman.
The track is a fusion of traditional beats synonymous with Ndebele’s previous tracks.
Ndebele said she decided to work with the multi-award winning artiste whose music cuts across borders and appeals to both the young and the old.
The Tsviriyo hitmaker’s manager Filda Muchabaiwa said everything went well and they were happy with their experience with Ndebele.
“It’s always a good thing when artistes come together, it’s a sign of unity especially between the Shona and Ndebele artistes,” said Muchabaiwa.
She said the two artistes were set to make a debut performance together on 17 April in Bulawayo.
Muchabaiwa said Jah Prayzah, who has become a man of collaborations, was also working on his sixth album to be launched next month.
The album would be titled Kumuramhute.
Apart from the collaboration with Ndebele, Jah Prayzah has worked with Sulumani Chimbetu, Oliver Mtukudzi, Somandla Ndebele, Sister Jean, Chiwoniso and recently Ammara Brown.
