Macheso and Nicholas Zakaria reUnite

By Blessing Makadza Madzibaba
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.

The album was auctioned for US$2 000 by Mutare businessman and music promoter Esau Mup-fumi who outbid musician Energy Mutodi. National Arts Council of Zimbabwe director Elvas Mari who was the guest of honour said it was high time that the musician graduates
from being a senior lecturer to a professor in recognition of his great artistry. Mupfumi who spoke on behalf of music promoters urged musicians to be professional in their line of work to uphold time and business ethics. Soul Jah Love showed his creativity by performing a freestyle in recognition of Madzibaba's works. HMetro
