SINGER Jah Prayzah says he was happy to be part of the “Zim’s Finest Gig” scheduled for the Glamis Stadium tomorrow.
Jah Prayzah said being on the same bill with the likes of Oliver Mtukudzi, Suluman Chimbetu and Alick Macheso was a joy.
“It is a great combination and I would like to promise my fans a whale of a time. I will be sampling new songs that will be featured on my upcoming album,” he said.
Asked if he was going to re-engagen his former dancer, Generator, Jah Prayzah could neither confirm or deny but said there was going to be a surprise guest.
Organised by River Clear Promotions in conjunction with ZimCafe Restaurant, the gig is expected to set the tone for this year’s festive season as it bring together big names in Zimbabwean music.
He has taken his brand to another level and he is one youngster to watch out for in the near future. Jah Prayzah is the sort of musician who does not belong to a particular genre and it is difficult to pigeonhole his music.
However, what is known about him is that he plays good music; music that moves revellers. The latest “Tsviriyo” DVD album has put him in the spotlight again as he single-handedly brought all the big names on the same platform. He brought together Tuku, Pastor Charles Charamba, Sulu, Freddy “Kapfupi” Manjalima, Winky D and Alick Macheso on “Tsviriyo”, a feat which other musicians are still to achieve.
Mtukudzi or simply Tuku to his fans has done collaboration with both Suluman and Jah Prayzah which means the “Watitsvata” singer will fit well on two different sets.
Tuku, who turned 61 in September, is a great composer, arranger and performer to emerge from Zimbabwe. However, it is his humility which has assured his longevity in music. Unlike some musicians who when they hit the big time became untouchables Tuku remains level-headed. He doesn’t let fame get into his head.
