One of South Africa’s premier house/kwaito producer and radio DJs, Oskido together with Dr Malinga make a welcome return to Zimbabwe for a gig that has been dubbed “The Adventures of Oskido, Dr Malinga and DJ Pepsi” scheduled for December 23 at Rainbow Towers VIP Lounge.
Kwaito/house fans are assured of a great time when our very own Oskido touches down, accompanied by some of the hottest acts across the Limpopo in the likes of Dr Malinga and DJ Pepsi.
“There is going to be fireworks at the show and music lovers will be pleased to see Dr Malinga doing his crazy antics on stage.
“We urge music lovers to come in their numbers and enjoy the show which apparently coincides with Unity Day celebrations,” Darlington
“Dee Nice” Hunda, one of the organisers said.
The gig will also be spiced by Harare’s acts — DJ Ash Styles Zimbabwe, DJ Storm and Dee Nosh of the D&L fame.
Oskido is highly regarded as one of the top South African house and kwaito artistes, who have taken the music genre to a higher level.
He has churned hit after hit in recent years and his stable, Kalawa Jazmee is rated among the best in Africa.
His hit track “Tsa Mandebele”, released last year was named as 12th Metro FM song of the year, beating DJ Zinhle’s “My name is (Zinhle)”, Fistaz Mixwell’s “Hade Mabebeza”, Zonke’s “Feelings”, Lvovo Derrango’s “Palesa” and DJ Tira’s “4 000” in a tightly contested category earlier this year.
Oskido has produced and nurtured numerous artistes such as Bongo Maffin, Boom Shaka, Berita Khumalo and Mafikizolo.
Oskido’s Christmas gigs have become an annual feature on the local entertainment calendar.
The evergreen and amazingly creative performer has over the years come up with memorable shows in which he never failed to surpass the high standard he would have set the previous year.
Born to a Zimbabwean father and a South African mother, Oskido’s career is a fairytale one.
After leaving Zimbabwe to seek greener pastures in South Africa, he started out selling boerewors rolls from a stall outside Club Razzmatazz in Hillbrow.
