Award-winning gospel musician Dorcas Moyo has released her 10th album, Mugeri Tsvatu, a project featuring 11 tracks.
True to her tradition of collaborations, the multi-award-winning artiste worked with a diverse range of musicians, including some from secular genres.
The album was officially launched on Saturday at the Mutare Showgrounds, where a star-studded line-up of performers—among them Alick Macheso, Leonard Zhakata, Sulumani Chimbetu, Amai Olivia Charamba, Mathias Mhere and Fungisai Zvakavapano—graced the stage alongside other celebrated artistes.
The title of the album, Mugeri Tsvatu, continues Moyo’s long-running fascination with hair—a theme she has explored in earlier projects such as Bvudzi Rangu Ramera, Mhanza Haisekwi and Mvere Dzabvepi.
The new release carries 11 tracks: Kazevezeve, Denga Rina Mwari, Wodalitsika (featuring Dr Ethel Kamwendo Banda), Munamato, Panofuurika, Mubatsiri Wangu (featuring Pastor Tinashe Murigo), Wamunodisa, Jerusarema, Rumbidzo Yangu, and Messiah Ndichamuwona (featuring Nobert Mukombe and Pastor Vhengere).
Speaking ahead of the launch, Moyo explained that the inspiration for the album’s title came from a Bible verse. She said:
“As referenced in 2 Samuel 10:4 – Hunun thought David’s messengers were spies, yet they had come to genuinely console him.
“Hunun, however, humiliated them by cutting off their beards. Little did he know that, in time, their beards would grow back, restoring their dignity.
“In the end, they had the last laugh, and this is what “Mugeri Tsvatu” symbolises.”
