Zimbabwean Award winning Artist, Takura Shonhai can arguably be referred to as an exceptional Musician, both as a Solo Artist and as part of the Pop trio Soul Afrika. Coming from a humble background his dedication has been a marvel to witness as is evidenced in his Music on his E.P album ‘STRIPPED’ with the hit single ‘Zino Irema’ as a prime example, an anthem for the haters so to speak. At a press conference this week Team Takura announced the ‘Zino irema’ hit maker’s national-international ‘STRIPPED’ Varsity Tour another notch on his belt.
The undertaking sees Takura touring six places around Zimbabwe namely Gweru (his home town), Bulawayo, Mutare, Mutendi High (his former school), Masvingo (his birth town) and Harare and Cyprus Greece raising the bar for so many Zimbabwean Hip-Hop artists.
Although Takura continues to pursue a solo career he assured us that the band would continue as a team
“Soul Afrika will always be part of me”
he briefly Enthused, contrary to the speculation of many alleging that the trio might be doomed.
Takura is gaining momentum both at home and abroad as a creative and talented Hip-Hop artist. London based DJ’s continue to give his music airplay while three of singles have enjoyed number one status on ITunes including ‘Zino Irema’, ‘MaObama’ and ‘Mungandidii’.
