Tonight they bring will unveil another collab, this time with Zimbabwe superstar Jah Prayzah, when they launch their album “Ngandibereke Mapudzi.”
The album is set to be launched at the Zimbabwe College of Music.
The track with Jah Prayzah titled “Fambai Naro” is expected to be the main attraction
from the album though leader of the group Richard Magaya expressed confidence on all the tracks.

Other tracks on the album are “Zvishuwo Zvomoyo”, “Ngandibere Mapudzi”, “Musha Wekudenga”, “Mumwe Ariko” and “Mumoyo Mangu”.
