Well-known young singer Tshanduko “Mazwale” Maano recently relaesed her second album,Usapfa hutunya mavhunzi.
It is expected that the nine-track album will do well commercially and it is already in demand locally. Mazwale said that she was very happy with the latest release.
She was born at Lwamondo-Mapate and started singing as a little girl in the primary school's choir. She later became the lead vocalist in the local church.
“Even though I am presently using an old studio, I try to work with different producers to avoid creating the sounds and same level of quality every time." She added that this was the criticism that some local in-house artists received. She felt, however, that her talent was not being recognized. Her first album, Ndinne Uno,was released in 20014, with hit praise songs such as Ndwinwana wanga and the title track, Ndinne Uno.
The favourite songs on her new album are Thohoyamudi, Usapfa hutunya mavhunziand Mavharivhari. "I have been wandering around and saw many things in life, but there was one thing that I was missing in life, and that was God. Now that I have found the Lord, everything has changed and my life has to bear testimony that I have changed. That is where this album came into being," Mazwale said.
She encourages young people to realize the importance of education and to put their education first. She is currently doing a diploma in sound engineering at Damelin College.
