Listening to the album, one can be forgiven for mistaking it as the work of a giant like Macheso himself; through the ingenious way that Majeke weaves his beat and lyrics.
But this does not mean that Majeke is a copycat, in fact, he is far from it as he does his own thing in a very creative and refreshing way.
The sound quality on the album is top notch thanks to the assistance that Majeke got from Harare’s leading sound systems dealer, Hardsound Pro Audio, who supplied him with some of the equipment he used in recording the album.
The album — which was engineered and produced by veteran Peter Muparutsa — kicksoff with the track “Masango” in which the musician advocates for the preservation of the environment.
He sheds tears at the destruction of nature through the wanton cutting down of trees, poaching, veld fires and pollution, among others.
In the song “Kumusha”, Majeke urges people to remember their roots by visiting their parents and relatives and lending them support in time of need.
Those who have been following his shows might be familiar with the track, “Chibhebhi” that is set to be an instant hit with music lovers.
In the song, the artiste promotes the issue of sticking to one partner when he says: “Mota yangu ndingakupa, zvese zvangu ndingakupa asi kwete chibhebhi changu”.
“Mafaro Pabarwa Mwana” is a song that captures the joy associated with the birth of a new baby while “Benzi Bvunza Rakanaka” is about the virtues of seeking wisdom and discourages the “full of I know” syndrome.
The album was recorded at Shed Studios and is Majeke’s fifth after “Afro Fusion Volume 1” (2005), which was produced by Jonathan Mugazi.
He then followed this up with “Makasa Adya Muchokochi” (2007) produced by Aaron Tom; “Kugara Kunzwana” (2010) which carried the hit song “Landlord”; “Takashinga (2011) then the latest release.
The album will be launched at Emm Glo Bar and Restaurant in Harare end of this month.
