adminneed for repatriation of Jamaicans to Africa.
“Africa is where our roots are and Zimbabwe is like my second home. I feel happy to be here because there is no difference between Jamaica and Zimbabwe,” he said.
Fyah is in Harare for a once-off concert scheduled for tomorrow tentatively at the Kebab Centre.
Zimbabwean performing artistes who include Mic Inity, Ricky Fire, Jiggaz, Ras Trevor Hall and upcoming deejay Smartex will curtain raise for Fyah.
Whoever impresses the Jamaican star will have an opportunity to collaborate with him on a song or two.
Fyah as he is popularly called in the dancehall industry is one of the best selling artiste at the moment and his hit song “Come Ova” has done very well in Europe and in America.
Apart from performing at the show, the artiste will also donate some soccer kits to schools in Zimbabwe. Fyah is also set to shoot a video of the hit-song “Come Ova” in Zimbabwe.
The dread-locked artiste promised reggae lovers a show that they will not forget for many years to come.
“I promise ‘fyah’ at the show and fans should come in their numbers and experience dancehall music being taken to a higher level,” he said.
Fyah was born in Jamaica and he started off as a football player before he became a full time musician in 1999.
He has worked with several artistes who include Luciano and Turbulence. He is also a member of the Bobo Shanti movement.
Earlier, Zimbabwe Tourism Authority chief executive, Karikoga Kaseke, criticised the organisers of the Fyah concert for their choice of venue. Kaseke argued that Kebab Centre was too small a venue to host such a top artiste like Fyah.
“I personally think Kebab centre is a really small place to host an international artiste of his calibre,” he said.
Kaseke also offered to help Butterwick, the organisers of the show if they will be need to change the venue.
Zimbabwean has a large following of dancehall music and artistes like Luciano, Sean Paul, Sizzla and Elephant performed at sold out concerts.
