SA-based singer releases three singles

Society Reporter

WAYNE Jachie, a South Africa-based musician who fuses different genres and styles to produce unique beats, has released three pulsating singles.

The tracks are titled “Timbojola”, “Nditambire” and “Bye Bye”.

Speaking from his South African base, the Masvingo-born musician said he roped in a number of experienced producers with a view to coming up with quality songs.

Renowned producers Elcee Gweja of MGF Records, Tyfan Guni and King DC of Dreamchaser Records were behind the works.

Two respected video producers, Chagwa Black and Afro55, are currently working on videos for “Timbojola” and “Bye Bye”, respectively.

The videos, according to Jachie, will be ready within a month.

On “Timbojola,” Jachie teamed up with Elcee Gweja to produce a feel-good song that can be played at any party. The duo expertly fused sungura with amapiano to come up with a sensational beat.

In “Bye Bye”, the singer — who, in 2017, collaborated with Andy Muridzo on the song “Nhaka Hazvikoni” — sings about someone who is homesick after living in the diaspora for a long time.

Jachie urges those in the diaspora to occasionally travel to their country of birth.

“Nditambire”, which is marked by a dominant amapiano beat, is a love song about relationships between couples.

The musician believes, as an artiste, his career is growing in leaps and bounds.

“I believe I have grown as a musician since my first project. Unfortunately, for the past three years, we have not been able to concentrate fully on music due to other commitments,” he said.

He also spoke about his working relationship with Elcee Gweja, one of the most-sought-after producers in South Africa.

“Elcee is a joy to work with. He is very talented, passionate and dedicated to his art. He knows exactly what the artistes want and he delivers. If you ask for a cup of water from him, he will give you a dam,” added Jachie.

The musician is pleased with the reception of the three singles.

“It is only a week or so since we released the songs and as such, we have not yet reached even a fraction of our intended recipients. The response has, however, been overwhelming. I have had requests for gigs but I do not have a band yet,” he said.
