Makore on cloud 9 with soulful Ariko Wani

THE name Leonarah Makore (pictured) may not be familiar in the gospel circles, but she used to be a backing vocalist for several artistes at the turn of millennium.

She has worked with Mercy Mutsvene, Tawanda Mutyebere and Anna Mukwati as a backing vocalist.

Due to the economic downturn, Makore decided to dump music and take the diaspora route in search of greener pastures, finding herself settling in the United Kingdom (UK).
