Yes I do it whenever I feel so because I have the resources to do so. We all encounter such things as people but it never affected me.Īnswer: Bleaching or not it’s my skin. Question: You once grabbed headlines with marital woes and cheating allegations?Īnswer: Typical of every man but the important thing is I am happy. I don’t remember the place but we travelled a long distance by road and I was very tired. I was excited that I have joined a big band in the country.Īnswer: One of our shows in Mozambique. Question: Which has been your best show ever and why?Īnswer: My first show at Orchestra Mberikwazvo end of 2009 at Ochi City. Question: Which songs do you enjoy dancing to (which albums)?Īnswer: Petunia, Mundikumbuke (Simbaradzo), Tafadzwa (Zvinoda Kutendwa), Charakupa (Zvido Zvenyu kunyanya), Sarah (Magariro) and about four songs – Chikuru Kurarama, Ndakakutadzirei, Pfuma Yacho and Kudzwai – on the new album. Don’t be surprised that there are fans who don’t appreciate my style. I have my own style which fans like Kariba has his style so does Charlie Chembe. Question: Do you think you are the best dancer at Mberikwazvo?Īnswer: That’s for the fans to judge. At the same time I also learn from him because he has his own unique style good to the band. I actually help him that no, do it this way because I am senior to him. He is a man who has his own dreams and I think he just wanted to fulfill them.Question: Is there a battle now with Kariba?Īnswer: The fans and you (media) talk about it but we are not in competition. There was such talk but I don’t think so. Question: And talk that Franco left because of you?Īnswer: I dismissed it. The issue is we had some similar moves and some fans could even confuse me for Franco. We work as a team and our main goal is to entertain our fans. It’s the fans who started saying that Majuice is better that Franco, Franco is better that Majuice but we don’t believe in that at Mberikwazvo. So I was actually learning from him but this talk of competition was fuelled by fans. Question: During Slomo’s days, was there a battle to be number one?Īnswer: Franco was my senior, I came to the band and found him there as a leader of the team. Jonasi Kasamba is also good in as far as choreography is concerned so he also helps me. Question: Who sets the dance moves at Mberikwazvo?Īnswer: Usually it’s me but I also get some help from the man himself (Macheso). He described Macheso as a father figure who has taught him a lot about life. He has also been accused of using skin lightening materials and he admits – with no regrets. He doubles as a music promoter biased towards Zimbabwean artistes.ALICK Macheso’s Orchestra Mberikwazvo lead dancer Majuice – real name Selemani Mpochi – says he has been vulnerable to female fans since he joined the group but has a way to deal with them. “This is the kind of backing we support in music and it has been enhanced by networking and remembering my roots,” he said.Ī father of four, Gomo is also an engineer by profession. “On this launch, I am being backed by the likes of Cossy Rules, Spencer Chuma, Gideon Dhliwayo and our guest of honour Fanuel Musakanda who has been supportive to me over the years. Gomo, who hails from Kadoma, hailed the business community for their support. “Home is always the best place to showcase your talent even though I have established myself in Port Elizabeth. “However, I will always cherish this support because it means a lot to me. He added: “I am really happy that I have been embraced by my fans on home soil and South Africa. “I am looking forward to this launch,” he said. “Of course I double as a musical promoter in South Africa but I can’t resist recording new songs. “I really invested a lot in the double CD, which was produced by Gibson Makumbe of VOT Studios. “I am very happy to be back home in style ahead of the launch of my two albums. In an interview, with The Herald Arts, Gomo, who prefers the moniker Muroti, said. His sungura album has 10 tracks comprising “Tinyerere”, “Tsaona”, “Chivandikira”, “Zano Ndoga”, “Marriage”, “Muroyi Ndimi”, “Todyiwa Mari” among others.Īrtistes Mark Ngwazi, Romeo Gasa, Obert Chari, Senator Tichareva, Rowan Madzamba, Chipo Muchegwa, Terry Gee and Franco Slomo are set to grace the launch.
