“…..what’s most important, is to make new fans and friends, and I definitely did that at Shoko.” Mzungu Kichaa and band MK: Well, that is hard for me to say. But in general I felt well received. I was happy on stage and so was my band and I could sense from the crowd that they were happy too. One thing that I didn´t expect was to find so many people who already knew about my music. But for me, what’s most important, is to make new fans and friends, and I definitely did that at Shoko. I think you need to ask someone else who attended the concert or listened to my music on the radio to really find out how I have been received in Zimbabwe since my visit. GM.: What are the differences between the urban music and culture in Tanzania and that of Zimbabwe, that you have noticed? MK: I think that there are more similarities than differences. I feel I was there too short to really make a statement about that. GM.: Can we look forward to another visit from Mzungu Kichaa anytime soon? MK: Yes! At least I hope so... But I will definitely do my best to make it happen. First I need to put the final touches to my new album which will be coming out early next year. So make sure you tweet or Facebook me @mzungukichaa so that I can keep you updated. GM.: Shoko means word. What words would you like to impart to young Zimbabweans, especially in the arts and entertainment industry? MK: Faith and Perseverance. Always have faith in what you are doing and keep persevering until you become nothing but the best. And those are some very motivating words from Mzungu Kichaa. We hope to have you back soon in Zimbabwe! For more Kichaa music follow him on: Mzungu Kichaa @mzungukichaa 71
