Lovezh, Soma in collaborat­ion

- Arts Correspond­ent

SUNGURA musician Lovezh — born Lovemore Nherudzo — has joined forces with sungura star Somandla Ndebele on a new track titled “Pahushamwa­ri”.

The two, who have been working together on live shows since 2017, decided to take a step ahead and create an Afrofusion sound about the power of friendship.

“I am trying to break genre boundaries and not be limited to a particular sound. Soma and I decided to record an Afro-fusion track and it came out so great.

In the song we address the importance of true friendship and it is a track that I know people are going to love and dance to,” said Lovezh. The Brave Stars frontman said working with Soma was an amazing experience and he got to learn a lot from the Sungura veteran. “I started working with Soma since 2017 when we were doing live shows together then our mutual friend and radio personalit­y Lionel Mkandla came up with the idea of a collaborat­ion after seeing how much we complement­ed each other. Soma is a veteran and I am learning a lot from him. It has been a great experience working with him,” said Lovezh. “Pahushamwa­ri” was produced by Knowledge Nkoma and it is a single for Lovezh’s upcoming album to be released soon. “I am still perfecting my upcoming album and it will be released soon. This single is just a taste of what the album is going to sound like. The album also feature some tracks in Swahili,” said Lovezh.
