Winky D returns to Hifa

becoming a staple at Hifa, confirming his ever-growing popularity spawned by his lyrical prowess, which he spits like a machine gun.
Born Wallace Chirimuko, the “Musarova Bigman” hitmaker has earned respect and admiration from a cross-over audience.
The youths sing his music while the elderly cannot help but enjoy the vibes. Basking in the glory of his hugely successful new album titled “PaKitchen”, Winky D alias “Ninja President” will be out to prove that he is still at the top of his game when he delivers his chart-topping hit “Taitirana”.
The song features upcoming chanter Lipsy (real name Tendazvaitwa Chitimbe) who has proved that women are as good as men in reggae/dancehall.
According to Fred Zindi, a music critic, “the ferocity of his rhymes, which are just as powerful, will leave one with no doubt that all Winky D’s tunes are well thought out. Every time he brings something new to the gig, the crowd responds with unguarded wild screams until the excitement level is barely legal.”
Usually dressed up in Sizzla-type bobble hat, Winky D is never short of surprises, something that has made him one of the biggest draws of Zimbabwean dancehall music as he appeals even more to the ghetto youths.
He started his career as a DJ and later swapped the decks for the microphone using backtracks but soon realised that these did not go down well with his audiences and the ever changing trends in show business.
He soon abandoned the idea as this did not give him the flexibility he needed during live shows and came up with the Vigilance Band.
As part of his group, Winky D is well complemented by his younger brother Layan Musoja on backing vocals and the two have great chemistry on stage.
Winky D is one of the few, if not the first dancehall artiste, to try out live band though initially this was an experiment, it was highly risky but worth it.
This was confirmed in the song “Wakasara” where he talks about using the guitars instead of backtracks.
Last year he dazzled fans on the Coca-Cola day at Hifa and chances are that a repeat of that concert will be witnessed this time around.
