A gospel singer, Dorris Davhana, said that she allowed the gap of four years between her earlier album, Baxolele Nkosi (2009), and her latest offering, Murena He Vha Vula Hone (2014), because she wanted to give her fans a quality product.
The album boasts 12 songs, based on reggae melodies, praise and worship fusion, and kwasa-kwasa sounds. "I wanted to cater for a wider audience since I am the kind of singer who believes that music is universal," says Davhana.
The album contains songs such as Vha Mukhethwa, Sathane, Mbingano, Lufu (poem), We lay life, and Yehova Nga a Rendiwe.
According to Davhana, this album is a package of cookies for a whole family to feast on and get filled spiritually. Her lyrics indicate that all things are possible for those who believe in God.
"When God opens up your way, nobody can close it," she says. "In my life, as a singer, I have noticed that music is food for the soul. Once you listen to inspirational music, you get inspired and moved to the higher realms of life, even here in this world."
She adds that Murena He Vha Vula Hone is the story of everyone's life. She encourages people to face their troubles and problems instead of trying to run away from them.
"We all have problems which weigh hard on our shoulders, but once we start acknowledging that those problems do exist, that's when we allow God to help us through such difficulties until we emerge as winners," she explains. Davhana is also a motivational speaker and a member of the local project which fights piracy. "On 25 July, together with Nambi Dza Devhula organisation, I will visit Maneledzi Secondary School at Tshiozwi," she says.
