ZIMDANCEHALL proved to be a hit at the Manicaland Agricultural Show last week Saturday after dancehall prodigies Tocky Vibes and Winky D left the crowd yearning for more.
This year’s edition of the annual four-day event which ended on Sunday ran under the theme, “ZimAsset for sustainable food security at household level.”
The day before (last week Friday), gospel diva Fungisai Zvakavapano Mashavave of the Ndiye Jesu and Jesu Ouya chartbusters performed during the official opening ceremony, but it was Saturday’s Zimdancehall session that proved to be more popular.
Winky D whose real name is Wallace Chirumuko, but also affectionately called the Ninja President, clad in his white signature suit, took revellers back memory lane after performing several yester-year hits.
The chanter showed why he is in a class of his own especially with his new single track ‘Mirror’ which is still due for release later this month.
The song like several of his new offing’s released this year as single medleys, like ‘I cry’ and ‘Chiramu,’ is a social commentary which exudes his lyrical prowess.
Tocky Vibes whose real name is Obey Makamure also proved his mettle as he performed after Winky D. The Mhai hit-maker who is also affectionately called the ‘Dancehall Priest’ early this year released his latest eight-track album Toti Toti which had several club bangers that proved to be popular.
Tocky also played a mixed bag of his first and latest songs.
His song Mhai which became a national anthem last year still proved to be well-liked.
Winky D’s manager, Jonathan Banda said the Manicaland Agricultural Show brought back a lot of fond memories for the Ninja President.
“We always love Mutare because we have a great following here. The crowd at the Manicaland Agricultural Show which was a mixed crowd of the young and old was great. It is always good to perform to a cross section of people and that is what Winky D loves,” said Banda.
