With the revival of life and living after the lifting of some Covid-19 restrictions, Zimbabwe’s Victor Kunonga is set to rock Sherwood Golf Club on May 1.
The event, presented by the newly opened Sherwood Golf Club is sure to be a lively ‘bash’, with the popular songs fans have come to love including the latest offering, INDUNA (KING).
Induna which goes like: “One day I will be a King, one day I will rule. Ngizongena: I will get there . . . I’ll be in there”, is a highly danceable track with traditional rhythms crossing over occasionally into a socca-rish feel.
The interplay of guitars always fascinating, talking their stories, discussing and agreeing, with Kunonga (guitar, percussion, lead vocals) and Trust Samende on guitar, Naphtali Gurity Chivandikwa on bass, Denis Mushaishi on drums and Manasa Mujawo on keyboard. Backing vocals are by Piwai Kunonga and Phatisani Moyo.
The song’s pace and polyrhythms paint the sound of the indomitable spirit of the people of Africa – bearing the present with strength, courage, humour and looking to the future with hope and confidence – “One day, I will be a king.”
‘Induna’ is produced by Victor Kunonga, recorded by Trust Samende at Kulcha Houz Studio in the heart of the Zimbabwean capital, and mixed and mastered by Ntshuxeko Maboya in Pretoria, South Africa.
The latest since his 2019 release ‘Ndatsva’, ‘Induna’ is one of a series of songs that Kunonga released in the build up his next full album, which will be the sixth since his debut in 2003 with ‘Such is Life’.
Kunonga said: “Victor Kunonga & Peace are excited to be back on stage after a while. We have missed a lot of our friends we would see regularly at our show, and saddened that we have also lost a few. This tells us that we must cherish every moment and seize the opportunity to celebrate life. Come and celebrate life the African way, with us!”
