JOHANNESBURG - Zimbabwean House-Kwasa singer, Zee Wengoma, recently collaborated with Botswana dance queen, Slizer to release a scorcher of a single track titled "Edladleni".
The song, recorded at KK Music Production house in Gaborone, Botswana, is a celebration by two Diasporans preparing to visit their home country and in typical Zee fashion, it is lively and fit for celebratory occasions.
"I really enjoyed working with Slizer - a well-known singer who has been in the show business for long and made great strides," said Zee. The duo sung in both Ndebele - Zee's mother tongue, and Tswana, which the Botswana songbird uses.
"The single track was released last month, as it was meant for people to dance to it during the just-ended festive season. The song is talking about going back home and it was deliberate that we released it at a time when most Zimbabweans were travelling back home for the great trek back of the year."
Produced by Kumakili and Engineered by Zolasko, Edladleni, has already been taken to Zimbabwean studios, where the Plumtree-born Zee hoped it would soon become one of the highly-played songs and become popular. Born Zibusiso Moyo, Zee entered the music industry with his explosive debut offering recently titled "Under Age" - a combination of wedding and dance songs that became an instant hit at various radio stations in South Africa and Zimbabwe in 2011. The song enjoyed fair airplay on Shaya FM, radio VOP, Studio 7 and Lesedi FM.
He returned in December the following year with a powerful single, "Sekutheni" in which he featured Zimbabwean dancehall star, Viviane Nomakanjani. The song was produced by underrated Zimbabwean producer, Cruize Moyo, who has done great work in Johannesburg with a number of musicians that include Nomakanjani and Girls-Out.
