The music video for the collaborative track Masiyephambili by artistes from Bulawayo is being shot with its release set for next week.
The song that has a total of 17 artistes was put together by multi-award-winning Imbube musician, Vusa Mkhaya through his My Guy in Zimbabwe (MGIZ) Publishing company. It was released two weeks ago and brings out the unity and resilience of people in the city.
Featured artistes are Mimie Tarukwana, Mawiza, Lady Tshawe, Cingi, Novuyo Seagirl, Vuyo Brown, Qeqeshiwe, Asaph, Taz, Njabulo Moyo, Lamas Ellz, T3rry Tempo, Killemol, Desire Moyoxide, Erastas Nleya, Mthabisi Moyo and Joel Nyoni.
The music video is being produced by Veins Media with each artiste recording their individual parts of the song at different locations around the city.
According to Kudakwashe Takundwa, Vusa Mkhaya’s spokesperson, a few things are left to be wrapped up in terms of the music video.
“For the past week, we’ve been working on the musical video for Masiyephambili, a song which was done by Vusa Mkhaya that features various artists. We’re left with four artists who are yet to record their individual footage for the musical video,” said Takundwa.
He said if all goes well, the music video will be released next week.
The track is a mixture of hip hop, kwaito, spoken word and Afro jazz with the artistes all singing about the beauty of the city.
