Mjolo Charge Up Precious Hanya To Pen A Song

 


Precious Hanya is not new in this game, he has 3 albums to his name so far, the scarcity of legal distribution channels is forcing him and other musicians to trade their maximum effort for other professions that are paying, Mr P Uncle Bae as he is affectionately called in the music circles is a full time electrician. 


The haphazard and non paying music distribution is discouraging even though he makes sure the society is enlightened. Precious makes sure he casts out a song out of his social analysis abilities. The society celebrates trends as an in thing but does not look at how detrimental it is to them. Whether it is out of ignorance the consequences burden the society.


Mjolo is a trending practice that has different names depending from area and area. Cheating in relationships is a tradition that has grown so bad due to modernisation. Men and women boast of the practice but the effects on morals, health and crime is worrisome.


Mr P (Uncle Bae) was quick to unpack the Mjolo misdeeds and how they are unstitching the social fabric of our people. The song is a soulful one that will definitely appeal to any shenanigans compacted in people’s behaviours. The Matshikhosi feel will definitely stick on people and spread the dangers of cheating in marriages. The record of suicides due to mjolo is alarming.


Precious Hanya attended school in Chitungwiza where he was raised. His musical journey started at school, at Primary he was part of the percussion band while at Zengeza 1 High School Precious joined the musical choir. 


Uncle Bae’s is working on his 4th album, The Beginning came in 2006 then the second one The return was produced by Mono Mkundu in Harare and the third album mixed bag featured Andy Muridzo, Dino Mudondo and Hwindi President. Mjolo is a single from the4th album. 


Uncle Bae will launch the 4th album Tipindewo on 26 November in Johannesburg where he is based.

Resilience: The Key to Navigating Life's Challenges

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga (FFF)   Life's no paradise – resources are scarce, competition's tough, and adversity's constant. But it's how we respond that defines us. Resilience is the ability to bounce back, to sweep away trouble and hold firm to gains. I once had a business in my 20s that did well in the short run, but when I sought support from a wealthy relative to expand, I was labelled lazy. I fought back, true to their word I became unpopular. Later, I realised people look at what you've achieved, not what you promise. I refocused, sought trusted support, and bounced back – refuting allegations of laziness. Each challenge's a battle; each win builds confidence. You don't start winning big battles, but small wins accumulate. Employers seek elasticity; vision falls on resilient people. As I was ridiculed and falsely accused, I gained favour with people in good time. Adversity may conquer, but bouncing back is resilience. Life's short. Elastic...

The Power of Family Influence

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga The African proverb "charity begins at home" takes on a deeper meaning when we consider the profound impact of family on our lives. As I reflect on my own experiences, I realize that the values, beliefs, and behaviors we learn from our families shape us in ways that are both visible and invisible.   As a former restaurant manager, I noticed that people's behavior in public spaces was often a reflection of their home environment. Some patrons would leave the toilet spotless, while others would leave it in disarray. The effort we put into maintaining hygiene in our kitchens is often mirrored in our public behavior. This observation led me to realize that our family's influence extends far beyond our childhood years.   Our parents' behavior, expectations, and values are imprinted on us from a young age. We mimic their actions, adopt their beliefs, and internalize their criticisms. As we grow older, we begin to make choic...

Unavailability Of An Official Music Distribution System Depriving Upcoming Musicians.

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga FFF   Music is important to our lives, I personally would not function well if all the music in the world is quietened. Actually it’s naturally impossible to stop all music playing. Have you ever walked into a thick forest alone. An unknown bird will volunteer to entertain you. Maybe the ability to choose the music you prefer is what can be affected but otherwise music will always play,  no one can ever stop music. Singers and musicians get inspired by a lot of societal happenings, with the intention to inform, tell a story and entertain musicians reveal complicated issues that are not easily communicable in public. They make songs out of unpalatable subjects and mitigate their effects to the society in the process.  Oliver Mtukudzi sang Tozeza Baba. The song is a narration of children’s perception of their abusive father who beats up their mother. The children express how this vacuums out their happiness. Weather the song has been played ...
