Utakataka Express frontman, Peter Moyo is set to celebrate the success of his DVD “Mabasa aMwari” at Jazz 24 /7 next week.

The Young Igwe said the DVD has been well received with his fans and there was need to celebrate it.

“The response is overwhelming and we have decided to have a show to celebrate it. Our launch was massive and there is need for us to have a follow up show,” he said.

That will be his first show of the year and he promised to give his fans new staff.

“We will be sampling our new songs at the same show. This is 2017 and we have come up with new staff,” he added.

Moyo said they will start working on the album in April.

Young Igwe who took over the reins of Utakataka Express following the death of his father Tongai said he would never match the standards of Tongai but he is working to be his own man.

“If you look at the DVD we are trying to bring new things and I am trying to be my own man. My father had his style and I have mine too,” he said.

The young musician has been under fire from critics, who argue that he was far from reaching his father’s level that charmed the nation with hits like “Muchina Muhombe”, “Samanyemba” and “Ganda Remvura”.

The DVD featured gospel musician Trymore Bande and Caps United goal minder Edmore Sibanda who is popularly known as “Zikeeper”.

“Bande came in on the DVD to add value. I wish to work with everyone in the music industry,” he said.

Popular businessman and promoter, Cosmos Daka, popularly known as Cossy Rules, who has in the past supported the late Tongai Moyo had already endorsed the Young Igwe’s DVD album project.

“This project will definitely change the fortunes of Peter. I watched the DVD album and what I saw was great work of art.

“This is his turning point to greatness. I really enjoyed what I saw, from the choreography, setting, wardrobe and the music itself. I can safely

congratulate him in advance,” Cossy Rules said.

Others said the young musician need to work on his studio projects.
