Afro Jazz musician Prince Kudakwashe Musarurwa is set to launch his fifth album soon. Titled “Chiga Chikuru” the album carries 10 tracks with one track “I Must Stick With You” featuring a Ugandan gospel diva Daisy Ejang.
Musarurwa said the album was ready but was still to work on the DVD which will be launched at the same time.
“I am happy to say that at this juncture we have finished working on the album but because we want to release the album accompanied by the DVD we have decided to launch the album during the first quarter of this year,” he said. Commenting on the title of the album, he said real life experiences inspired him to pen the songs.
“The album was inspired by what we face as a people in our daily lives, on ‘Chiga chikuru’ I am saying people must learn to look back and see those that have helped them to become whoever they might be in life. It is important to give thanks,” he said.
Musarurwa said he has not diverted from the love songs which he is popularly known for and that there are a number of love songs including one titled “I Do Love You”.
So far, he has been sampling some of the songs on the album during live performances and they have been well received.
Musarurwa hogged the limelight when he featured on his nieces hit track “Runonzi Rudo” which became an anthem having been played at almost every other party throughout the country.
He has four albums to his name including “Gara Muberere” and “Gogodera” which was released last year.
