We are more than prepared for the cultural event that affords us an opportunity to sell our country as a leading tourism destination in song and dance, he said. Gahamadze, who is enjoying enormous success with his latest album Fare Fare Tindike, has urged revellers to turn up in large numbers at the event that brings together some of Africa s finest songsmiths. This is also a cultural night where some of the continent s top artistes will meet and we urge people to come and see for themselves, he added.
Courage Mashavave, husband-cum-manager of gospel diva Fungisai, echoed similar sentiments and hailed the event organisers for honouring gospel musicians at the event. We would like to thank the organisers for including gospel music in the line-up and we hope we will do our best. Another thing that I would like to mention about the event is that it comes at a time when we are doing better in the build up to the 2010 world to be staged on Africa, said the manager.
Mashakada could not hide his excitement. I feel humbled to be part of the big event and that alone shows that the band is growing and we hope to return the favour by delivering our best, he said. Moyo, who was part of last year s concert, said he was eager to learn more from other artistes, especially the much-acclaimed Extra Musica.
