UK based Zimbabwean singer Cynthia Mare last week Saturday scooped a BEFFTA (Black, Entertainment, Film, Fashion, Television and Arts) Award for ‘Best UK Female Afro/Caribbean Act’ at a posh ceremony hosted in London. Cynthia was accompanied on stage in a touching moment of solidarity by fellow Zimbabwean nominees – Girl Child Network founder and former CNN Hero Betty Makoni, DJ Simba and designer of choice Leah African Design.
It has been a tough year for the sultry songstress after her mother passed away, early this year, following a two year battle with cancer. Nehanda Radio.com understands Mare is just about to complete a tribute album for her late mother.
“My mother was my sun. She was my biggest inspiration but I know she watches over me”, she said. Mare is a fighter and continues to fight on. After opening for dancehall legend Sean Paul a few months ago, Mare will also be doing the same for Nigerian singer 2Face Idibia at his Buckwyld and Breathless Show at London’s Indigo2 on the 6th of November.
Mare plans on singing her current hit single ‘Catch Me When I Fall’. The track has enjoyed cross border appeal in Africa championed by the likes of Power FM in Zimbabwe, and Channel O and MTV Base Africa in South Africa.
