SUNGURA musician Jacob Moyana has received a boost from promoter Chipaz (born Patson Chimboda) after being sidelined for several weeks.
The musician will be on the line-up at Chipaz Promotions' 10 anniversary celebrations scheduled for Gwanzura Stadium.
Chipaz told NewsDay he had spoken to the musician who registered his concerns over neglect.
"I spoke to Moyana after the 21st February Movement Gala at Gwanzura Stadium last month and he told me he had numerous albums with clean music that were in different radio libraries, but weren't being played," said Chipaz.
"I then decided to give him a chance and prove to the public who are the major stakeholders as far as music is concerned that he has clean music and can sing clean music."
Moyana said he was unfazed by the controversy that he has been associated with.
"People say all kinds of things my brother, but to tell you the truth my life has changed for the better since I came to Harare," Moyana said.
"Lately live shows have been difficult to come-by, but I am happy with what I have managed to achieve so far. I used to have transport problems each time I needed to travel, but I have managed to buy a Mercedes Benz Sprinter minibus which will change my life for the good."
Moyana said he was now working on getting his many albums that he has recorded cleaned for sober audiences, but said he would remain singing his lurid lyrics.
"I am happy singing in bars because I have been singing clean music for a long time and it has brought me nothing so I will remain singing what pleases mischievous minds," he said.
"The so called clean music will be for radio, but in bars we will keep on singing what has made us popular."
Moyana came to Harare over two months ago after shooting to fame with his Munotidako track gave him fame.
He has been severely criticised but it appears for now he has stuck to his guns.
Chipaz will hold the 10th anniversary gig at Gwanzura Stadium on April 11 dubbed Sungura Night featuring Alick Macheso, Sulumani and Tryson Chimbetu, Leonard Zahakata and Peter Moyo among many others.
