INTERNATIONAL collaborations in music have come to stay.
Thanks to improvements in communication, Ghanaian artistes can now have collaborations with artistes in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Senegal and Ivory Coast, just mentioning a few.
Zimbabwean jazz star artiste Dudu Manhenga is one artiste who takes to heart the essence of international collaborations.
She recently flew from Zimbabwe to not only “get introduced to West Africa” as she states, but went to Ghana to do collaborations with some Ghanaian artistes.
“I think one of the problems we are facing in Africa is the issue of mobility. Those that are in the South know what is happening in the south and maybe a little bit about Nigeria.
“However, it is not a two-way thing all over the continent that people know exactly what is happening in North Africa, Central Africa, in East Africa and in Southern Africa,” the Bulawayo-born songstress said.
She, however, advised Africans generally, especially young people, to endeavour to make out.
