With his latest six-track album, Kudyiwa Netsananguro, Mr Favour VeFlambo cements his place as one of Zimbabwe’s most compelling storytellers — a singer who thrives not on gimmicks or vocal fireworks, but on the power of everyday narratives, moral lessons, and lived experience.
The title itself, meaning “being consumed by explanation,” sets the tone for a project that leans heavily on real-life situations, social truth, and spiritual insight.
What Mr Favour offers is more than music. It is commentary, reflection, and caution — delivered with sincerity and crafted from personal encounters and community observation.
Each song on the album is constructed around a strong theme, and Mr Favour’s talent lies in converting simple conversations into powerful songs with universal relevance.
One of the most memorable tracks, Maronda, cautions partners against confiding marital or relationship problems in the wrong people.
The metaphor — “usaratidze munhuwese maronda ako” — stands out as one of the album’s strongest writing moments.
It’s poetic yet painfully true: not everyone who touches your wounds intends to heal them. Some carry salt, some carry poison. This is vintage Mr Favour — wise, observant, and honest.
In Girlfriend, Mr Favour critiques men who prioritise side relationships at the expense of their families.
