Veteran musician Hosiah Chipanga, whose career spans more than three decades, says he deserves better treatment, particularly from radio stations, which he feels have ignored him and his music.
Chipanga, who turns 74 this year, is preparing to release a new album but does not understand why local radio stations are no longer playing his songs.
In an interview with The Manica Post, Chipanga denied that his songs are political, insisting that they are pro-development. He said:
“The new project will be out sometime this year. I, however, don’t know where I am getting it all wrong.
“I have tried being a professional and consistent artist, but sometimes I feel so neglected.
“Radio stations are now shunning me and my music. I don’t remember the last time I heard my song being aired.
“People may argue that I sing political songs, but, no, I don’t. I am pro-development, and I am excited to be living around this period where I am seeing the country, particularly Manicaland, growing in leaps and bounds, especially in infrastructural development.
“I feel I deserve some respect, let alone my music. I would honestly be interested to know why all radio stations are no longer playing my music.
“I, however, like to thank promoters who still have faith in my music and have invited me to perform at commercial shows.
“I have never disappointed, and I believe this will be a great year as I am readying for a new project”
