Kapfupi goes military, unleashes ‘Musoja’

The new album – recorded at Metro Studios – promises to do just as good as his previous one, “Juice Card” that carried the hit song “Mai Nga”, if the sneak preview is anything to go by.
The album is laden with Kapfupi’s traditional humour and packed with fast-paced beats.
Those who have been following his shows might be familiar with the title track “Musoja”, in which the musician advises people not to misjudge others.
“Ukaona musoja usafunge hondo/Ukaona mupurisa usafunge jeri,” sings the award-winning musician.
“Normally, people think that if they see someone, especially a woman, dressed in the clothes of their choice, they are of loose morals. However, that is not always the case because those we think to be upright are also immoral,” said Kapfupi.
If you loved “Mai Nga” then you should also fall in love with the second track, “Majisa”, which is about an irresponsible father who spends his time sowing his wild oats rather than fending for his wife and child.
His philandering ways are exposed when his wife discovers some text messages in his mobile phone sent to him by his string of “girlfriends”.
To add to the drama, he had saved the mistresses’ names in the phone, which infuriates his wife.
When asked to explain this, he tries to cover up, replying: “Julie ishortcut yaJulius/ Maggie ishortcut yaMagirazi!”
The wife would have none of this and decides to pack her bags, announcing that she was now going back to her mother’s house.
It is at this point that the husband unleashes a rib-cracker, responding: “Kana neniwo ndakuendawo kwaamai vangu (I am also leaving for my mother’s place.)”
The jiti song “Wakambokabatirei?” denounces rape and urges victims to report the cases to the police.
It is about people who rape children.
Rich in idioms is the song titled “Nhengure” about how all the evil that is perpetrated in the dark will eventually be exposed, while the last track, “Mwari Wakanaka”, praises God for all the good things in life.
Kapfupi said a video to one of the potential hits on the album would be released soon while the DVD package would follow later.
Meanwhile, the musician recently held successful shows in Mozambique although floods affected two of the gigs.
“We performed sold-out shows in Manica and Chimoio provinces although we failed to hold the last two concerts in Katandika and Tete owing to the floods,” he said.
