Macheso cries on stage

Musician  Alick Macheso wept on stage in Mutare after he was overwhelmed by emotions, as he belted out the song, Baba.

Macheso temporarily broke off from the song midway, as he shed tears.

"You see, some of these songs are so touching," he told the crowd.

"This song reflects deeply into our lives. Sometimes I end up being emotional."

The song Baba was based on the musician's upbringing and relays the story of a young boy, who accuses his father of neglect. This was after the parents divorced while the mother was pregnant.

A handful of Macheso's fans from Mozambique also attended the show.
