it lacks the quality to
get there.”

local producers how to make the
best music. “I think we need to
have better quality music

but a myth.”

quality of music as well as
become an internationally
recognised label.”
They also aim at grooming more
talent in Zimbabwe and getting
professional artists from abroad
to come and train our artists.
