The South African-based Rhumba group Dupute Warriors will be releasing a single on Friday 7th of June 2024 mainly to raise fund for its upcoming album.
With eight albums to their name, Dupute Warriors led by Thobani Dube says as a group it has the talent to keep the universe entertained but is struggling financially to fund its upcoming project.
The group is asking for help from all well-wishers to donate at least R30 towards the upcoming album.
To donate, the group has shared its banking details.
In South Africa, well wishers can deposit the money in a Standard Bank Account 10147605596 under Mr G Ncube. Instant cash and ewallets in that country can be sent to 0671846557.
In Zimbabwe, donations can be sent to Nhlanhla Moyo's EcoCash number 0777280108, while those in Botswana can be sent through Elvis Ngwenya's Orange to number 072173040.
Dupute Warriors management also indicated that the group is open to be hired for shows.
Teacher and Rhumba music fanatic Mthokozisi Zondo believes Dupute Warriors is improving with each album which is good for the Rhumba genre.
The Nkayi-based teacher said the band is 'one hit' away from stardom as everything about their music is perfect.
"I have listened to all the songs on Dupute Warriors' last album Inzalo Entsha. My take is that it's a mature performance and polished production. They really did a wonderful job. The instruments are well arranged and deviate from the usual Kalanga rhumba. They lean more to Sungura than Kalanga Rhumba which should appeal to more listeners. Their songs are good but do not have that anthem factor, just that one thing that wows audiences. Seems to me it's a charisma thing which Dupute Warriors lack as a unit and individually," said Zondo.
