Nicholas Zakaria last Thursday reunited with his old student Alick Macheso in song and dance. Alick Macheso joined the sungura godfather during his performance at the launch of his 26th album Rumbidzo. He went straight to the bass guitar and joined the vocals on the song Mabvi nemagokora among other songs. Macheso is one of the artistes who came from Madzibaba's ensemble Khiama Boys and he jelled well with the experienced musician.
