Chawapiwa readies new album

RISING gospel musician Tsistsi Chawapiwa, is set to release a new titled “Zvichanaka” end of this month.

Chawapiwa said she is excited about the new project that is at polishing stage now.

“I am happy to be producing yet another album for fans after a series of requests. The album which is almost done will be available on the market next month,” she said.

The album is embedded with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“The album title, has a message of hope that it shall be well. It carries spiritually uplifting songs that are appealing to all age groups. It has both worship and praise songs,” said Chawapiwa.

Meanwhile, she dropped three singles “Zvichanaka”, “Handimbokutevera Satan” and “NamatwaiMwari” that are part of the forthcoming album.

The songs are already enjoying fair airplay on all local radio stations and are accompanied by videos which are enjoying rave reviews on Youtube.

The artiste who is also a nurse by profession said she will embark on a national tour as part of her marketing strategy of the new album.

“Unlike the previous years, I am going to hold shows in different cities so that my music gets to all my fans around the country.

“This will help me to interact with my fans who have always been supportive. Before I used to focus on private functions but this time I am taking it to another level,” said Chawapiwa.

The “TariraNyika” hit-maker will be among the musicians set to perform at the National FM anniversary celebrations to be held on April 14.

Chawapiwa released her debut album “Zvandiri” in 2009.

It carried hit songs such as “TariraNyika” and the title track “Zvandiri” that received considerable airplay on Radio Zimbabwe and National FM.

She dropped her second album in 2011 titled “Tendeuka”.

She then went into hibernation and broke the silence with the three singles in December last year.
