\n

Musician James Nyamandi has vowed to revive the late Marshall Munhumumwe’s musical legacy.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the late Munhumumwe, Nyamandi does not only sound like the late Four Brothers frontman but also composes songs with similar beat and dances like him.<\/p>\n

“I’m happy because I now live at my own home though I still have to do the construction work,” he said with a chuckle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nyamandi believes there is nothing wrong with imitating his mentor because when he became ill, he (Nyamandi) was asked to lead the Four Brothers to record their album “Zvehama” in 2002.<\/p>\n

“I started my music career with the Four Brothers, so there is no way I can run away from Munhumumwe’s music.”<\/p>\n

Nyamandi does not own a single musical instrument but has vowed to soldier on in his mission to revive the Four Brothers’ music.<\/p>\n

He hires instruments for his performances.<\/p>\n

Nyamandi left his own band – Makombe Brothers – to join the Four Brothers and has injected new life into the outfit.<\/p>\n

Other members of the band are Behands Mateta (lead), Bernard Mateta (bass), Bruce Banda (rhythm), Claytos Mapare (drums) and Aaron Tom (backing vocals).<\/p>\n

Nyamandi said he has finished working on a new album titled “Zvauri Ndozvauri”.<\/p>\n

On the album, he touches on a number of issues affecting society including marital problems.<\/p>\n

“Simuka Tienzane”, the musician’s favourite song on the album, is set to win hearts of many as it is receiving a considerable amount of airplay on radio.<\/p>\n

In this gem, he addresses consequences of gender imbalances.<\/p>\n

Other tracks to look out for are “Nditariseiwo”, a plea to the ancestors, “Thandiwe”, “Chawapiwa Tenda”, “Uyai Tifare” and the titled track “Zvauri Ndozvauri.”<\/p>\n
