It's a luta continua tonight for comrades and music fans when Rimuka Stadium hosts another chapter of Heroesplush that's been dubbed "The Big 2 Live In Concert". Make no mistake, Kadoma is expected to reverberate to Zimbabwean music at a concert organised to celebrate the gallant sons and daughters who fought for Zimbabwe's independence.
The gig is one of the rare occasions when Oliver Mtukudzi, or simply Tuku to his fans, takes his act out of Harare.
The granddad of music is set to be joined on stage by Suluman Chimbetu as well as young and
upcoming Bruce Mpofu and his Zambuko Band. Word doing the rounds is that music lovers in the small mining town have already whetted their appetite for what promises to be a delightful mixture of the old and new generation in Zimbabwean music.
The entertainment-starved revellers will have a rare night as the gig is believed to be the perfect
antidote for gold panners and those with a bit of cash to spend. The crowd will no doubt be on their feet when they join Tuku, Sulu and Bruce for a night of musical bliss and dance among friends and socialites.
Tuku is still basking in one of his finest moments ever, following the conferment of an ambassadorial role on him by Unicef. The katekwe exponent is also expected to come to the show with his batteries fully charged to dish out his catalogue of hit songs taken off his two new albums "Rudaviro" and "Abiangu", which were recently launched in South Africa.
Sulu, or simply "Mwana Wedangwe", is another joy to watch on stage with his steadfast and pulsating showmanship.Backed by the vibrant Orchestra Dendera Kings, a group that was popularised by his iconic father Simon "Chopper" Chimbetu, Rimuka Stadium - the venue of the gig - will vibrate to cracking dendera music.
Sulu, who is riding high with his latest album "Non- Stop", will also take revellers down memory lane with his own renditions of golden oldies by Chopper. He has built a firm fan base, which follow him where ever he performs and you just have to attend one of his shows to appreciate his act.
Of all the dendera exponents, for one reason or the other, Sulu has proved to be a cut above the rest despite the fact that they all sound the same. Show organisers K&K Promotions have promised one big party at Rimuka and hope that fans will invade Kadoma from places such as Harare, Kwekwe, Sanyati, Gokwe and Gweru.
"It's not just an ordinary show, it is one which should draw music fans from different cities and those with different tastes. Considering the groundwork that we have covered so far, it is our hope that we will give people value for their money."As organisers of the show we have come up with a good price and those who will miss the show will only have themselves to blame," a spokesperson said.
