Tanga Wekwa Sando makes a return to stage with a show scheduled for Misty’s located at Newlands Shopping Centre on April 5. This would be his first live show after a sabbatical which saw him record his comeback album “Katsindi” featuring a collaborative single called “Love Aziko” with one of the pioneering urban grooves outfits – Extra Large.
“It’s good to be back. This is our first show and we are going to hold more shows in Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls. We are going to be introducing the album ‘Katsindi’ to our fans,” the township love music singer said.
Tanga has proved to all and sundry that he was still at the top of his game with an album that feels a lot like the Tanga Wekwa Sando of the old. Yes, the Tanga who brought you the hits such as “Wake”, “Paidamoyo”, “Manetwork”, “Buhera” and “Nyenyedzi”.
Those who are going to turn up at Misty’s will not be disappointed as the granddad of township music takes to the stage.
It is always a joy to watch Tanga and Chibhdhoro do their thing on stage. The two have a formidable combination that not only excites but also moves the crowd.
Production-wise, the album is groovy just the way township music fans like it.
By the way you can expect surprises from an artiste whose versatility is as varied as Tanga, who draws influences from funk, afro-jazz, rock, soul and what have you. Like one critic said: “Tanga’s music exudes such power and beauty that invokes in Zimbabweans a sense of pride and belonging.”
Extra Large, who provide vocals on “Love Aziko”, did well as for the first time they sang not just from the top of their voices but according to the notes. For once, Tanga taught the young generation how to make music changing from low to high notes.
“Love Aziko” simply put means the love is no more. When two people stop seeing each other, stop calling each other or stop everything they used to do one of them is bound to conclude that love no longer exists.
“Katsindi” is a superb love track which is already making waves on most radio stations across Zimbabwe. It’s a feel-good track with an addictive chorus and boy oh boy, you got to listen to it. If you have not liked Tanga before it’s about time you ask yourself why.
Besides singing township love songs, Tanga is also a social commentator having released such hits as “Torai”, which talks about the land reform and “MaNetwork”, where he criticises the poor services by telecommunication companies, he also sings about people.
He is also passionate about the African renaissance and the emancipation of Africans from colonial mentality.
