PROMOTER-CUM-MUSICIAN Brian Samaita is happy with the response of his lattes album “Kumazivand­adzoka” that was released late last year.

On the album the Mutare-based musician featured popular names like Agatha Murudzwa and Shiga Shiga.

“I have been releasing albums but this one has brought glory to my career. I am happy that people especially in Manicaland are supporting me,” he said.

He thanked all the artistes in Mutare for their unity and support.

“I have tracks that featured Agatha Murudzwa and the response is overwhelmi­ng I tell you,” he said.

Gospel track “Jerusarema” featured Murudzwa while the other track while Shiga featured on tracks “Ndinokuten­dai” and “Ndavekuend­a”.

“Featuring the two artistes is a way of showing unity among musicians, especially from this area.”

He got his inspiratio­n from the late musician Tongai Moyo.

He named his outfit Murondatsi­mba Express as another way of paying tribute to the late Kwekwe-based musician.
