The group, whose four members are originally from Kezi about 75 kilometres southwest of Bulawayo, will soon be shooting scenes for their debut DVD in Zimbabwe.
The group has become a household name in the genre in South Africa, following last year’s release of their first album Iqhawe Lako Mhlahlandlela.
“One of the reasons we are in music is to promote our homeland and shooting a DVD there will be one of the methods we use to do that,” said group spokesman Christopher Ncube.
“We have beautiful places in Zimbabwe, including in Kezi where we come from, and using the popularity that our music has generated so far, we want to become ambassadors for our home area and the country as a whole.” The group is part of the Amabhukudwane Music Company, whose aim is to develop the traditional Ndebele music genre that has been christened mthwakazi maskandi.
Having released the album in June last year, the group has already performed with a number of other popular groups in the genre.
“People say our album is one of the best projects done in Zimbabwe over the years and even other nationalities seem to love it. We want to capitalise on it to market our homeland,” added the 27-year-old Ncube.
