JAZZ maestro, Victor Kunonga, believes Ashton “Mbeu” Nyahora, can make it to the elite league of stars through consistency and focus.
Mbeu is set to launch his fifth album titled “Nhanzva” on Saturday at Jongwe Corner, Harare.
Kunonga, Mwenje Mathole, Dhadza D, Agga Nyabinde, Chipo Muchegwa, Terry Gee and Mwendamberi are some of the artists expected to support him.
As a seasoned jazz crooner in his own right, Kunonga has been in the game for years.
“He (Mbeu) needs consistency and focus if he wants to go far.
“He has great talent but talent alone, without consistency and focus, is not enough.
“I feel excited and honoured to be part of the event when is launching his new album.
“We are going to deliver our best on Saturday and show him some love.
“We are ready for the launch and we also hope it will be a success.”
