Masvingo artists based in Zimbabwe
and abroad dominated Hevoi FM’s inaugural Top 50 chart show which was
aired on the January 01, 2021.
The charts rated some of the popular
songs that received the most airplay in year 2020, with a whopping 44 of the
chart names being Masvingo-based artists.
Hevoi FM programming and
administration coordinator Works Gezani said he was satisfied with the level of
talent in the province.
“I am pleased by the number of
upcoming local artists whose music we are playing. They are doing very well and
the chart show proved that. Some of them started their music careers only last
year,” said Gezani.
The show was presented by Roseline
Mutare, whose popular radio name is Miss Rose Kamusalad Kepa Radio.
Upcoming artist Salam Salam
emerged at number 1 on the charts with his hit Imba yangu, followed by pop
artist Innollah who features seasoned gospel artist Ratidzo Wekare on
the song Nechipo changu.
South Africa-based gospel musician
Leti Chawira came third with her song Heal our land while Mai Zinyimo sat at
number 4 with her song Ngazvindipfure.
Dorcas Moyo, who is based in Mutare,
slipped into what was largely a Masvingo party and took number 5 with her song
Tsamba.
Upcoming hip-pop artist Guan took 6th
position with his hit My gosh while Ngundu-based Joztek, who featured Cinderella
on their hit Simudza chiso, took number 7.
Simudza chiso is an attempt at uplifting
those that feel hopeless and depressed in spirit, and is partly a heart-rending
narration of Cinderella’s real-life experiences at the hands of a rapist.
Innolah, who featured thrice in the
entire show, took number 8 with the song Ndiaratidze rudo which was written by
Harvest House pastor Rev Chikarakara together with Ratidzo Wekare.
New kid on the block in gospel music,
Hope Kadewere took position 9 with the song Ndipe meso while another Ngundu-based
artist Akim Ngwenya took position 10 with his song Garai neni.
“Our dream is to take Masvingo
music to the highest level and as a station, we are happy that our local
artists are finding accommodation in a radio station which is essentially
theirs,” Gezani said.
He said the station also has a
weekly chart show whose aim is to promote local talent by showcasing it
alongside what artists from other parts of the country have to offer.
