Ringo and his group soon after landing at the Harare International Airport
South African jazz crooner Ringo Madlingozi arrived in Harare last night and immediately ruled out a collaboration with superstar Oliver Mtukudzi. He feels he needs to create synergies with other artistes and singled out ex-Project Fame finalist Kudzai Sevenzo as a priority.
"Expect fireworks all the way. I didn't want to come before the release of my new album but I have to do it for my Zimbabwean fans," he said before he was whisked away from the Harare International Airport.
Ringo is part of the "Thank You Zimbabwe" gig scheduled for tonight at Andy Millar Hall. The gig also features the likes of Mtukudzi, Jah Prayzah and Winky D.
It's all system go at the "Thank You Zimbabwe" gig tonight slated for Andy Millar Hall at the Exhibition Park featuring South African Ringo Madlingozi, Oliver Mtukudzi, Winky D and Jah Prayzah.
The high-octane gig promises a lot of thrills and easily passes as the "Show of the Week" considering the musicians in the line-up.
Music lovers should be on the lookout for surprises from Mtukudzi and Ringo whose duet on "Into Yam" remains a classic.
Ringo, whose songs are mostly centred on love, is not a stranger to Zimbabwean audiences. He has been to Harare on a number of occasions where he partnered Mtukudzi on stage.
He has never flopped in Harare and whenever he returns to the Sunshine City, it is like a homecoming show since he views Zimbabwe as his second home while he also calls Tuku, the granddad of music his elder brother.
