Zhakata has been a household name in the Zimbabwean music scene for over 20 years. He is best known for using idioms in his lyrics, making it difficult for many to grasp the exact nature of his message. But that status didn’t prevent him from paying the highest price an artist can pay: the banning of his art. One of his songs on his banned album was ‘Mirira nguva’, which means ‘Wait for your time’. Zhakata says the track deals with the situation of the underprivileged in Zimbabwean society. By telling... Oct 02, 2013

Zimbabwean singer Tererai Mugwadi was happily in love until eight months into her relationship, she discovered her boyfriend was cheating on her. But not soon after, she got word that the other woman died in a car accident. At first, Mugwadi wondered whether this was some sort of punishment, but then she realized there were other things to blame for her relationship’s failure. 

In this edition of My Song, the soulful vocalist talks about ‘Sands of time’, a track inspired by the life-changing event... Jan 31, 2014

Ugandan singer Jaqee learned at a young age that her voice was her strongest weapon in getting heard in the patriarchal culture that surrounded her. Later when she applied her voice to music, she realised that she could also use her voice to share opinions and ideas with the rest of the world. In this week’s episode of My Song, Jaqee talks about her song ‘Hero’ which has her reminiscing about wanting to be a hero in her youth. But, as she concludes: "It takes a lifetime to become a hero."

Zimbabwe’s Afro-fusion singer Ammara Brown sees it happening more and more: women falling in love with so-called ‘sugar daddies’. These are men who lavish much younger women with money and excessive gifts in exchange for a sexual relationship.

In this episode of My Song, Ammara talks about her controversial song ‘More Sugar Daddy’ that tries to tackle the issue, but which some believe promotes the practice. However, Ammara believes that, although young women have their own agency, it’s her mission to... Feb 25, 2014

My Song: Ammara Brown on 'More sugar daddy'

This collaboration was born out of my desire to work with Zhakata who was one of the most popular musicians I enjoyed listening to during my childhood. I am excited to worship with him and share the message of this song which is; no matter how difficult life can get, you will always have a refuge in Jesus Christ.

Zimbabwean singer Edith We Utonga has been called confrontational, too outspoken and arrogant. The slams have usually come after speaking her mind on topics like the one she explores on ‘Hutungamiri’. The Shona name for her track means ‘leadership’, a concept that she finds paradoxical because it means, as she puts it: “moving forward, but constantly looking back because you must move with the people that are backing you up”.

In this week’s episode of My Song, We Utonga talks about her rather... Mar 13, 2014

Does poverty in Africa persist because of policies by global financial institutions, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)? Instead of lifting people out of their hardship, these policies achieve the opposite, says some critics. One of them is Nigerian afrobeat musician Seun Kuti, son of the famous Fela. His song ‘IMF’ – an acronym for, as he explains it, “international motherfuckers” – reflects his belief that the IMF is complicit in making the rich few even richer and... May 28, 2014
