OSKIDO, one of South Africa’s premier house/kwaito producer and radio DJs, has promised his fans a great show when he performs in Harare on December 28 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”.
“It’s going to be a banging show from start to finish. We are going to be performing some of the old and new tracks from the stable,” he said.
Darlington “Dee Nice” Hunda, one of the organisers urged fans to come early since the gig will start on time. “This is a show not to be missed and we would like to encourage music lovers to come in their numbers and have a great time. When one talks of kwaito/house you cannot leave out Oskido. So basically we are bringing the best in the genre,” Dee Nice 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 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 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.
