Ex- Sulumani Dancers find comfort in Marxist Brothers

Former Sulu dancers

THE three dancers who left Sulumane Chimbetu's Orchestra Dendera Kings say they have settled well at Tryson Chimbetu's Marxist Brothers and are happy with their new working conditions. They also said they wanted to put the record straight that they were no longer job hunting, contrary to media reports. "We have been working with Tryson since the beginning of the year and those who have been following our shows know that we are now with Tryson," Nyasha Mugari (24), who was in the company of his fellow dancers, Wayne Kembo (28) and Phillip Dzivike (33), said.

They said they were also happy with the contract they had signed with Tryson. "We are happy with the way everything is being run and we are also happy with the contract. In fact, we see a bright future ahead," Mugari said. He said they have blended well with other members of the band. "It is a more mature outfit and our arrival has enhanced the strength of the group and we are working well with the other members. 

There are now six dancers at Tryson's band and our colleagues are happy with our input and we are like a family," he said. He, however, said there was no bad blood between them and their former boss, Sulu. "There is no bad blood between us and Sulu and his Orchestra Dendera Kings and wish him well in his endeavours," added Kembo. The three dancers left Sulu last year after complaining of poor salaries, arguing that much of the revenue that was supposed to go into their pockets was being splashed on Sister Jean, who often curtain-raises for Sulu.
