Memories of Selmor Mtukudzi’s successful “Dehwe reNzou” album launch will be rekindled today as the diva unveils the event on her social media pages.
Speaking about the rebroadcast, Selmor Mtukudzi’s publicist, Reginald Chapfunga said: “We are really excited about the rebroadcast set for tomorrow at 8pm as it will give our fans from all over the world an opportunity to watch the band on stage. It will also recapture the magic of the day for those who attended the launch.”
“We invite all our music fans to watch the one hour long show as it is not only gives them a feel of Selmor’s live performance, choreography and music arrangement prowess but also guarantees the future of her father’s music legacy.”
Chapfunga said during the launch Selmor sampled tracks from Dehwe Renzou and also played some of her father’s all-time hits. He said the show is a must watch for Oliver Mtukudzi’s fans. She was supported by the King of Sungura, Alick Macheso.
