TAKUDZWA HILLARY CHIWANZA
HARARE – Veteran music educator HweMonga, born Patience Musandirire, will release a new Afro-Jazz love song heavily influenced by Zimbabwe's ancient Shona traditions, titled Wematongo. The song, accompanied by a music video, will be released on the 23rd of August.
The upcoming release is a celebration of Zimbabwean tradition and culture, as HweMonga goes back to his roots to convey a story of innocent, unhindered, and joyous romantic affection that will touch hearts in a profound way.
And, in all his years as a music instructor, this is his debut release.
HweMonga partnered with the renowned creative video director Simba Gee, who has an extensive catalog of work, for the video. Though the audio production was done in the UAE where HweMonga resides, the visuals are set in rural Zimbabwe, echoing an authentic love story unfolding amid the backdrop of a rich cultural heritage.
The song and video takes the audience all the way back to the ways of courtship prevalent in pre-colonial Zimbabwe, and one can only raise their anticipation for this tune.
Born on August 23, 1977, HweMonga is a distinguished musician and qualified music education practitioner with vast musical knowledge. He originally comes from the countryside of Uzumba in Murewa District of Zimbabwe, where his roots trace back to Chimbwanda Village—and this has had an influence in the new upcoming release.
HweMonga is a multi-instrumentalist, proficient in playing the piano, acoustic guitar, mbira, marimba, and various percussion instruments. His expertise gives him ample room to conflate—in a beautiful manner—different musical genres, creating a distinct and enthralling fusion of sounds. Listeners can look forward to this feel of music in the upcoming release.
The song will be available on all digital streaming platforms and listeners can get in touch with HweMonga via social media platforms:
