#ZAA Calvin Gudu and Muzi Mangena who rocked the airwaves in 1998 with their hit classic ‘Tombofara’ will on Saturday April 10, 2014 perform their re-worked hit song at the Zimbabwe Achievers Awards (ZAA) gala dinner to be held at the luxurious Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London.
The boys from Bulawayo now based in the United Kingdom are back with a re-worked version of ‘Tombofara’ and a clutch of re-mixes of the song done in collaboration with some of Zimbabwe’s leading urban grooves producers.
Commenting on the new project Gudu said, “We have a five-track EP coming out, simply entitled ‘Tombofara’ it will include the very original track, the rework and other modern remixes.”
“We are taking our faithful older people back down memory lane, whilst the re-work brings the new young listener on-board the Tombofara train, and various remixes cater for those with a trendy taste,” he added.
The duo also promised a show back in their home town Bulawayo.
“We are planning shows in many cities but as you know, ‘Tombofara’ was launched at the Bulawayo Arts Gallery and we would love to perform there again just to say thank you to our people in our home town,” revealed Gudu.
The ZAA celebrate the achievements of the Zimbabwean community in the United Kingdom and other performances from Zimbabweans such as Prudence Katombeni Mbofana will also take place.
