ZVISHAVANE-BASED Sungura star Gift Amuli yesterday said he was attracting huge crowds during shows in Mozambique as compared to those on home soil.<\/p>\n
Amuli said he had been performing in different provinces in Mozambique, adding he would be touring Manica Province from July 13 by public demand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe normally have good attendance at shows outside the country as compared to local ones. Maybe the reason is linked to the economic situation we are experiencing as a nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast month, we were in the province of Manica performing; that\u2019s when we received an invitation to return on July 13. We were so excited with the reception.
\nThat\u2019s why we accepted the invitation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amuli said they had finalised their preparations for the show scheduled for this weekend and promised a top class performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the current economic situation in the country, very few people can manage spending money attending shows, which is viewed as luxurious although we still
\nhave a few places where our fans still fairly support us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said the support from his Mozambican fans was unbelievable as they sang along to most of his songs, especially the yesteryear hit, Wamatuka.<\/p>\n
\u201cMozambicans are very amazing. They love my music and are very supportive despite the differences in language. I realised that, indeed, music is universal
\nlanguage, where people can enjoy themselves without really understanding the message,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Amuli is back on the music scene after he was forced to take a sabbatical when he sustained injuries in a road accident in Gweru early this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
