Gospel musician Mambo Dhuterere, whose real name is Darlington Mutseta, is set to launch a new studio album in August despite the coronavirus-induced national lockdown, which has also negatively affected the music industry.
Mambo Dhuterere claims that he is not in music to make money but to preach the gospel to all corners of the world. He said:
I am not into music for money but to preach the word.
I have a message to deliver to the people during this period, hence I cannot wait for the lockdown to be lifted.
Gospel musicians are called to offer hope to the troubled and hopeless.
After releasing the album, I can still make money through online royalties.
We do not rely on live concerts anymore.
Popular for his Dare Guru album released last year, Mambo Dhuterere fellowships at St John Apostolic Church of the Whole World.
He ventured into the music industry in 2014 and has three albums to date; Dhuterere, Tsamba and Dare Guru.
Mambo Dhuterere has recently collaborated with a number of musicians including Mathias Mhere and Seh Calaz, among others.
