Qeqeshiwe Mntambo (pictured) will on May 29 do a live recording session of the track at Ingqungqul­u Farm just outside Bulawayo.

The farm is located along Solusi University road and hosts events such as horse riding, picnics and hide-outs.

The live recording session, dubbed Unplugged: An Inti

mate Story, will see the songstress being supported by Skaiva, whom she featured on

Kukhona, Pamela Magariro, Thandi Bhala, That’s X and Ashibass.

“The session is part of the works I have promised my fans in the past two months. I promised them new ways of doing things as well as new production­s. This is part of the whole process and it's also a way of showing gratitude and giving back the love and support that I have received from many people in the years that I have been in the arts industry as a musician, dancer and actress,” she said.

Qeqe, as she is fondly known, promised that the event would be an intimate interface with her fans.

“We are not looking into having a very big crowd, our numbers will be guided by the Covid-19 safety regulation­s and we will adhere to all health precaution­s. Having a small number of attendees will also help in building the ambiance of an intimate affair with the music and with the fans. I want fans to feel what I will bring to them as well as I want to feel what they feel and what they have to say about my works,” she said.

Qeqeshiwe has collaborat­ed with award-winning artiste Charles Mahlaba on his latest album titled Imizwa.

Qeqe, who is also featured on the yet-to-be-released project by Amazing Fab G, said there would be a surprise video coming out soon off her 2020 Singles Collection project.

The music diva is no newcomer in the entertainm­ent circles as she has played the lead role of Suku in a local drama Suku, which saw her clinching the outstandin­g actress award at Nama 2013.

She has played Thuli in the rejuvenate­d Stitsha, a musical originally written by veteran playwright Cont Mhlanga and later reworked by Sihlangu Dlodlo under Qhube Production­s.
