Zimbabwe’s contemporary musician — Jah Prayzah — warned his erstwhile bandmate Baba Harare of being a womanizer.
In their latest collaboration, Jah Prayzah who is featured on Ndine Hombe a track by Baba Harare, the Tsviriyo star plays the role of an advisor.
While most people think Ndine Hombe is just a feel good song, debate is that Baba Harare was singing about his life.
And the background to it is that Baba Harare has become a se_x symbol with many women literally throwing themselves at him.
And much to his delight Baba Harare has embraced the tag and often shows off whenever he gyrates on stage.
Baba Harare, is into jiti music and those who know say the music is poplar for its notoriety and laden with sexual innuendos.
Born Braveman Chizvino Baba Harare sings about a girl who is playing hard to get.
Although he loves the girl named Noma, she seems not interested in him and hence he asks Jah Prayzah on what he should do about it.
So when Baba Harare refers to Ndine Hombe sings about Ndine Hombe (I’ve the biggest) he is not talking about the car as it were but his manhood.
“Ndine hombe, ndine hombe, mota yangu ihombe,” Baba Harare sings on the hook.
This has been the rallying point of the song and in that song Jah Prayzah sort of confirms it when he sings “Asi, Haubvire, Haubvire, kunyan’anya nema dhirezi”
While the song has sexual connotations many are rocking to it whether in kombis or bars, and it might as well be the festive song judging from the responses.
Yes, in pubs and bars it might be an appropriate song but then outside of these spaces the song come across as highly explicit.
Ndine Hombe is off Baba Harare’s latest album Zimbabwean Giant.
