The single also has a video shot in different parts of Harare that will be released soon.
“Initially, I had come to visit my friend Kizito Candindo, the First Secretary of the Republic of South Sudanese Embassy in Harare. I, however, saw it fit to work on a single with my brothers from Zimbabwe. In that respect, as artistes we need to use music to carry on the African culture rather than imitate European culture.
“Music is a tool that my brothers in Zimbabwe should use in spreading the gospel of love and forgiveness among people. Because music is a language on its own, it touches people of all races and backgrounds,” he said.
The seasoned musician, who has been a crooner for 35 years, said his visual impairment had not been a drawback in his career. To date, he has six albums to his name while “Let’s Build Our Nation” is his first Zimbabwean project.
He, however, promises more collaborations with local artistes.
His top priority is to perform at the Harare International Festival of the Arts.
“It is unfortunate that I missed Hifa but it is my hope to be a part of it next year. I might also make an appearance before that, in November for a workshop where I am scheduled to encourage people with disabilities not to despair but to make something out of their lives,” he said.
The 55-year-old musician also saluted superstar Oliver Mtukudzi, whom he described as a legend back in South Sudan. He also acknowledged the existing relationship between his country and Zimbabwe which, he said, was sealed by the support they were given during their liberation struggle.
