1. Interesting intervention from @jahprayzah
I asked @TukuOfficial why he had sang before Mugabe.
“You go there to send a message,” he said.
“Look at the track selection, I played songs like Mukuru, Bvuma & Tsika Dzedu,” he said.
Is JP able to do so?
Yes, he could if he wants. https://twitter.com/jahprayzah/status/1321800040348790790

2. 1st of all JP needs to build a catalogue that speaks to injustices as @TukuOfficial did.
@bobmarley performed at political concerts.
But then like Tuku, he would play “Get Up, Stand Up.”
So if JP sings Kutonga Kwaro in the face of injustices, the masses will resist his brand

3. There is a difference between what Tuku & @bobmarley did & what JP & Sandra do.
Bob & Tuku used the stage to speak out against the dictator in his face.
JP & Sandra’s music ululates the dictatorship with Kutonga Kwaro being seen as a sound track to Mnangagwa’s evil rule!

4. So as long as JP continues singing for the dictator, the critical thinking music consumer will associate his brand and music with that of the evil & crooked regime.
The truth is that nobody is forced to pen songs for Mnangagwa, they do so bcoz they want to, & for dollar gain.
