- Mthabisi Tshuma Showbiz Correspond­ent

AFRO-soul musician Msiz’kay and producer DJ Sox are slowly joining the Amapiano genre after collaborat­ing for an Amapiano single titled Uzobuya Nini.

e genre is very popular and has been appreciate­d globally through Zimbabwe’s Sha Sha (Amapiano Queen) who recently scooped a BET in the Viewer’s Choice: Best Internatio­nal Act category.

Uzobuya Nini is a song which talks about long distance relationsh­ips and one lover longing for his/her other half who left with a promise to return soon. It is a relatable story that is told well by the duo.

As the lockdown has incapacita­ted

TEN-member arts outfit, Sunduza Dance Theatre is set to drop a song and visuals for a love track titled Ubuhle Bakho this Friday.

The renowned group which has been in the game for the past 35 years, has evolved through the years as it has adapted to the current trends as exhibited in their artistic work.

Operating from one of the city’s oldest suburbs, Old Pumula, Sunduza Dance Theatre focuses on theatre and music production­s. They have five musical albums under their

Ubuhle Bakho belt and the song offering this year.

The outfit’s public relations officer, Lynda Sithole said the song which will be released on their YouTube page, Sunduza TV, was composed by the group’s artistic director, Charles Banda aka Mahlaba. It features FabG Mtshana Ka gogo.

The video was shot at several locations in Bulawayo by Veins Media.

“Ubuhle Bakho is largely about love. In the video, we show different types of love from the fancy love, the teenage love to the rural love,” Sithole said.

She said the song was inspired by the fact is their new that everyone, at one point in life, is faced with a time where they fall in love unconditio­nally.

“What inspired the song is the joy that you get when you fall in love with someone. The lyrics capture this as the song talks about the happiness and beauty of having someone in your life.”

Sithole however said they would have loved to have more production­s but their plans have been affected by the national lockdown.

“We could not do much as most of the time we are holed up at our homes as a result of the lockdown,”she said.— @mthabisi_mthire.
