SOUTH Africa-based Zimbabwean musician Tendekayi Mushekwi, affectiona­tely known as TK Hollun, has dropped a jam titled “Mukana” which he says is a Christmas present for his fans.

The dancehall track features upcoming Zimdanceha­ll star Legend Elly and was produced with the help of Nigerian Captain Blue and James Adam of the Chitsidzo fame. In an interview from his base, Hollun said he believes the song will become a favourite of many in this festive season.

“I am really optimistic that this single will become a darling of many because of the rich content and the fast tempo feel attached to it. That is my Christmas present and a reminder to my fans that I love them very much and I am still in the game,” he said.

“Mukana”, which literally means another chance is an appreciati­ve song that reflects on how many good things God did for his people throughout the year including the gift of life, job opportunit­ies just to mention a few. The track is off his forthcomin­g album due for release early next year.

“I will be coming home next year with a new album due for release in February and the whole album is currently under constructi­on at his Shakestone Studios in Durban.

“I will also tour major cities across the country as part of the marketing strategy of the album,” Hollun said.

Hollun who was one of pioneers of urban grooves music said his studio has steadily gained popularity by recording both upcoming and establishe­d artistes.

“I have been recording upcoming artistes especially from Zimbabwe as well as other establishe­d artistes across Africa. Competitio­n is getting tough though as more studios are mushroomin­g,” he said.

In October he released a single titled “Ikoko” which was accompanie­d by a video. The “Ndafunga Kure” hit-maker last produced an album in 2014 that was named “Hollun Vibez” that was received well by his fans.
