The wait is over as Oskido, one of South Africa’s premier house/kwaito producer and radio DJs, is in the country ahead of his one-off show tonight at the Rainbow Towers’ VIP Lounge. The “Tsa Mandebele” hitmaker will be accompanied by the nimble footed Dr Malinga and DJ Pepsi for a gig that’s been dubbed “The Adventures of Oskido, Dr Malinga and DJ Pepsi”.
“This is a must-attend gig for music lovers as the curtain comes down on 2013.
No doubt all roads will lead to the VIP Lounge,” Darlington Hunda, one of the organisers said.
The South Africans will be ably supported by Zimbabwean DJs in the likes of Ash Stylez, 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 has 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 4000 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 fails 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 and the rest as they say is now history.
