Mlambos Express Band popularly known as the Super Legends will tonight be the sole representative of Matabeleland music at the 21st February Movement fund raising gala to be held at the City Sports Centre in Harare.
The Super Legends from Plumtree in Matabeleland South who have taken the South African and Matabeleland region music market by storm will tonight be performing in Harare for the first time and fittingly so in front of live ZBC TV cameras to announce their arrival to the Zimbabwe music scenes. Invited as the sole group from Matebeleland, The Super Legends will be sharing the stage with Zimbabwean music greats like Leonard Karikoga Zhakata, Jah Prezer, Suluman Chimbetu, Somandla Ndebele and a host others in a show billed to take the crowd through the night.
Speaking in an interview from his base in South Africa, band manager Thabani Ndlovu could not hold back his excitement at the rise in fame the group is going through. Ndlovu said that the group feels extremely honoured to be part of the gala which has attracted musical greats from all genres of Zimbabwean music which according to him confirms them as a rising giant in the Zimbabwean music sectors.
"This is our biggest honour in Zimbabwe so far and sharing the stage with all the great Zimbabwean musicians on the list confirms Mlambos Express Band as a real growing giant in music," said Ndlovu.
"We are more than honoured to be part of this event and thankful to the organisers for recognising our efforts and picking us to bless this great occasion and we will show Zimbabwe why we call ourselves The Super Legends," Ndlovu added.
The music gala is being organised by the Harare District of the 21st February Movement to raise funds for President Robert Mugabe's birthday bash schedule for Victoria Falls on the 28th of February. The all night music gala will be beamed live on national television from 9pm tonight to 6am the following day.
Mlambos Express Band leader Fiselani Ngwenya urged their fans to stay up the whole night and wait for The Super Legends to get on stage and "see what they have never seen before".
"We are going out to Harare to fly Kalanga Rhumba high and urge everyone to stay awake until we get on stage," said Ngwenya. "We are taking our full entourage to Harare, crowd favourite Godolude and Mfana kaNyoni will be there to show Harare and Zimbabwe what Plumtree and indeed Matabeleland can produce," Ngwenya said.
The group takes pride in having "Godolude" arguably the country's number one Zimbabwean Rhumba dancer ably supported by "Mfana kaNyoni". The group has promised to dish out their best songs and dances tonight as seen on their debut DVD Sidlalus' unyawo which was sold out in its first week of release. High to be featured is their latest offering "Time to party" which the group says will be a special dedication to honour the President on his 91st birthday.
