"The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp." John Berry
Zahara Mkutukane is a born again Christian who comes from
the rural areas of Phumlani just out East London, Eastern Cape South Africa.
This splendid and talented youthful woman is only 23 years matured, with her
parents in matrimony for over 36 years. Zahara has recently released a debut
album “Uloliwe” (meaning a train) which is available in music stores through out
South Africa.
She brings herself in line with a very powerful motto in
life, “Perseverance leads to success.”
Zahara have managed to bear with her youth dream up to now, “Don’t ever let anyone tell you that, that
dream is unreachable because it is!” advices the poetic lady. What makes me
go all out and support her is the flair and joy that her voice brings to ones
bothered and happy soul. Her music bears a very powerful emotional element,
which is what I call “healing effect” that draws you close to conquering your
problems.
Her wholesome album offering “Uloliwe” have been well
received by the music industry, media and her fans. The album so far sold more
than 110 000 copies in 21 days, which proves to a greater length that when
something is of high standards it is difficult to pirate. The title song of the
album “Uloliwe” is amongst the first songs that have been enjoyed in South
Africa dating back from the likes of Brenda Fassie who knew how to transport good
music to the audience, more importantly the affected part “ear”.
Her music is telling a story which is very important when
one is composing music. Stories like, “Kudala bendimonela besithi andiyonto,”
(They have been jealous of me, telling me I’m nothing). But thanks to TS
Records for wonderful talent recognition and nurturing, and the spirit within
her that helped her rise above all that. I am sure being a born again has
amongst other things helped her to stay strong and battle her obstacles with
the spoken word.
Her debut album “Loliwe” is available in ALL MUSIC stores Nation Wide!
If you don’t have a copy yet, be a go grabber. Until next time I wish her the
entire lady luck in the world.
