Zimbabwe’s music sensation — Oriyano — has collaborated with Diamond Platnumz’s Wasafi Records’ artist due out soon.
The 21-year-old upcoming artist who is weaving his way up the music ladder is pulling all the stops to ensure he gets to the elite class of Zimbabwean musician.
According to his manager Phathisani Sibanda, the collaboration single is a must listen for every music lover.
“I know many people have been asking questions about whether or not Oriyano has a big catalogue of hits that can make up a lice concert. Well, the youngster has so many unreleased songs which promise to be hits.
“As we speak, he is about to release his collaboration single with Tanzani’s Wasafi Records owned by Diamond Platnumz. I can testify the song is going to be a banger. I know he is being compared to other artists but Oriyano is talented and you cannot take that away from him,” Phatisani said.
Often compared to Jah Prayzah, Oriyano is making waves with his distinctive sound, deep lyricism, and captivating visuals.
While some fans see shades of the superstar in Oriyano’s music, he’s proving to be more than just a mimic — he’s an authentic voice in his own right.
From the first note, Oriyano’s music feels familiar yet fresh. With a voice and swagger reminiscent of Jah Prayzah, he’s quickly catching the attention of music lovers.
His songs, rich in storytelling and emotion, delve into life’s intricacies — from love to relationships, Oriyano sings with both passion and purpose.
What truly sets Oriyano apart is his artistic simplicity. Avoiding the chaos of over-produced sounds, he integrates the iconic mbira, paying homage to Zimbabwe’s cultural roots. This approach has won him a loyal audience craving authentic Zimbabwean music.
With three singles under his belt — Ndakuda (Super Glue), a love song currently trending on social media, Kupenga Wakapenga which calls for respect for women whether in marriage or relationship, Akunamata featuring Poptain and Marema and produced by Sunshine — Oriyano is carving out his space in the industry.
