| Tuku and Cheso Power |
THE bar keeps rising for dendera musician Tryson Chimbetu who will curtain-raise for two of the country’s music giants, Oliver Mtukudzi and Alick Macheso at the Chitungwiza Aquatic Complex tonight. Tryson — who fronts the Marxist Brothers, the group that was founded by his late father Naison — will be out to prove that he deserves the honour to perform alongside Tuku and Macheso.
What makes the show interesting is that Tryson will bring in a novel dendera dimension to Tuku’s katekwe and Macheso’s sungura to come up with a “melting pot” of music genres. The young artiste is not just basking in the glory of his current album, “Bvamrod”, but also on a colourful patch of alternating the stage with the country’s best.
Those who have been following Macheso’s shows will testify how Tryson has matured with each outing and the Chitungwiza Aquatic Complex will sure endear him more with his fans. Naison must be smiling in his grave after Tryson made a steady rise under the watchful eye of Macheso. The show in Chitungwiza has generated a lot of interest in the satellite town.
Humble as he is, Tryson has been “elbowing” his way up the music ladder and sharing the stage with Macheso and Tuku will further consolidate his status as one of the country’s musicians to seriously contend with. On the other hand, the two artistes that Tryson will be sharing the stage with are music legends in their own right, having defined the Zimbabwean music landscape into what it is today. Macheso has become the epitome of sungura music with a string of hit albums to his name. (Herald)
