Heir apparent to the Dendera throne Sulumani Chimbetu has urged his followers to hold their horses as he is putting final touches to his long-awaited album.
Chimbetu has been moving dates of the launch of the album causing impatience among a legion of his followers.
“The making of the album is towards closure and soon we will be availing the release dates and also announcing the name of the album and songs,” Chimbetu told Standard Style.
“I am happy that the album is coming up well and all is going according to plan. We have taken our time to perfect it and I know many have been asking when we are finally releasing the new project since we had promised to do so last year; our message is soon. We don’t want to dish a half-baked project for our fans who have been patient with the process.”
Sulumani said he is sampling some of the songs from the album during live shows and believes one of the tracks titled Ndunge, a song he penned warning people to desist from seeking fortune in supernatural ways, wi;; be a smash hit.
The song, Ndunge, was named after the late Chipinge traditionalist Charles Makhuyana Ndunge who died early this year. The traditional healer was known for serving lucky charms.
“We have been sampling the song Ndunge at recent shows and I can say that the song has won the hearts of many Dendera followers. People always demand that we repeat the song every time we are on stage,” he said.

“I don’t want to pre-empt details of the song and the album, but basically the song is about people who seek herbal services from traditionalists and some end up having problems in future.”
Chimbetu’s last album Jamboree did well, with songs such as Alice Mbewe, Mhasuru and Tiringwe.
