The musician, who is riding high with his latest offering Kumaziva Ndadzoka, told The Standard Style that he had changed his approach this year.
“It is going to be a different year. I have so much in store for sungura music lovers and I promise them more live shows across the country,” he said.
Samaita, who has been holding sold-out shows since the release of his album late last year, said attendances at his shows coupled by regular airplay of his songs on national radio stations were enough testimony to how good his music is.
“I have been receiving a lot of responses from many people, especially sungura music lovers since the release of Kumaziva Ndadzoka. Many people have been coming to my shows and I had sold-out shows in Mutare, Chipinge and Chimoio in Mozambique during the festive season,” he said.
One of the tracks on the album Ndinokutendai was among the top 10 on the National FM Top 50 for 2016.
The musician, whose music is more popular in Mozambique than in Zimbabwe, had previously released three albums — Nemiwo Munazvo, Murodzi Wepfungwa and Tsono — which all failed to rise to expectations.
