Oliver Mtukudzi, Winky D and Vee of the Taku Taku fame have merged their creative talents to come up with a song to mobilise men for circumcision.
The exciting song entitled "If you know you are a champion get circumcised," was launched in Harare on Thursday night.
Production of the song was made possible by Population Services International, PSI and the ministry of Health and Child Welfare through their funders.
The track includes distinct traits of the three musicians. Tuku on guitar led the opening part with his deep crooning voice, followed by a part from maverick Winky D.
PSI said the song would be used to promote male circumcision in 13 countries in the region. The diversity of the musicians would attract a wider audience. Its content which includes three genres of music will appeal to different audiences.
PSI was represented by a strong delegation including its global president and seven board members based in Washington, USA at a function that was held at a local Harare restaurant to launch the single and video.
PSI president, Carl Hoffman said his organisation was present in 60 countries and had employed 6 000 employees dedicated to providing population services. Hoffman said the Zimbabwean case was unique.
