and an honour. He is the man who inspired me to write ‘Pahotera’.
“I give him much respect and my wish is to see more musicians working with Tuku. I wrote half of the song then Nzou added his flair. ‘Pahotera’ warns people against going out everyday. The casino aspect was brought about by Tuku,” said Tryson.
He said although “Compass” was dedicated to his late father (Naison), some of the tracks were inspired by Tuku.
Speaking of other songs on the album, Tryson said “Ndondo” is about how money can jeopardise family relationships, “Pfuti” is about individual strength in life while “Bhora Mberi”, featuring “Young Igwe” Peter Moyo, dwells on jealous people who want to others suffer.
It appears Tryson is arguably one of the best dendera musicians who has managed to keep stay royal to the genre.
Some critics says he has a natural voice that reminds many of the late dendera legend Simon Chimbetu, who along with Naison popularised the genre.
There is no doubt the newly appointed Red Cross Youth Advocate is on the right path to revive his late father’s music.
