Leeroy Mutsvanga, a young and energetic musician from Zimbabwe, has just finished recording his rhumba album, called Zvichanaka - an album filled with love songs from his country of birth.
Mutsvanga was born in Masvingo, Zimbabwe, 24 years ago. His family moved to South Africa when his father was employed as a teacher many years ago. He has a twin brother, called Leengon.
"When we were young, our mother told us that she gave birth to us when she was seven months pregnant, but because of the love of God, we survived. When I think about that I just feel my heart brimming with love," he said.
The six-track album deals with the love people talk about in their own countries. One of Mutsvanga's favourite songs on the album is the title track, Zvichanaka, which means things will change for the better one day. He remembers how his elders in Zimbabwe kept on telling them how the country used to be the food basket of the continent under colonial rule, but has now become the poorest country on the continent under the current government.
"This song is calling on the youth of this continent to stand up and remove all the old folks in government and replace them with young blood. Africa needs to be ruled by the younger generation who will pave the way for the future generations to be prosperous. How do you expect pensioners to plan for a better future generation when they know that they will be gone soon?" he asked.
Mutsvanga describes himself as "a young musician who comes from Zimbabwe with love".
The album was recorded at Zebulon Studios at Khubvi village. Songs such as A songo shavha, Ama 2k and Amai Wanga are already available on YouTube.
