How did your career start, and where are you projecting yourself with all the talent currently coming out of Zimbabwe?
My music career is steeped in my family roots, starting with my uncle August Musarurwa, whom composed the song Skokiaan first released in 1947 (in the then Rhodesia) and climbed to the US Charts to number 17 in the 1954. It went on to be redone by the great Louis Armstrong.
Skokiaan is the roots of Afro jazz in Zimbabwe. It succeeded Marabi & Kwela - a type of township music, which was an underground musical culture, that had a link to Americanjazz, ragtime and blues, with roots deep in the African tradition. So I can proudly say music (Afro Jazz) runs in blood.
And with all this rich music tradition and culture that makes up my background I can safely say the yardstick is quality because the environment demands excellence, “naturally I’m expected to improve day in day out”.
