FORGOTTEN sungura musician, Ronnie Mudhindo, has found his way back into music after a long hiatus.
The former Utakataka Express founding member, who last released an album in 2013 titled Zvipere Zvipere, left for South Africa in search of greener pastures where he worked as a truck driver.
The 46-year-old, who has since settled in Kwekwe, is set to release an album titled No Retreat No Surrender.
“I last recorded an album in 2013, that is when I left for South Africa to find other means to make a living.
“In South Africa, I was a truck driver so, because of work, I neglected my music career.
“I’m now back on the music scene, I will be releasing an eight-track album with one song featuring Peter Moyo.
“My prayer is for artists like Freeman and Baba Harare to show up for the album launch,” he said.
The Vazvamburi band leader said the new album will cater for everyone.
“The album will be a mixed bag of different genres including dancehall, Afro beat and Amapiano,” he said.
Kwekwe-based promoter, Raymond Chinouya, said he has embarked on a movement to promote and market Mudhindo’s music.
Mudhindo rose to stardom during his stay at Utakataka Express as a bass guitarist before taking a solo path under his new ensemble Orchestra Vazvamburi.
He has recorded five albums, including Vazvamburi Vauya, Poto and Mazirume.
Mudhindo is credited with teaching Tongai Moyo’s sons Peter and Tongai Junior to play guitars.
