TWO former Frontline Kids members Emmanuel Thomas and Noel Zembe have joined forces to produce a single track titled Vhuvhuruka aimed at giving awareness to Generation Z (Gen Z).
The song educates the Gen Zs about the way they have lost cultural values, highlighting that a majority of what they do is directionless.
“The track Vhuvhuruka is about the life of the young generation which is not stable, marred by substance abuse hence its life is directionless. The situation has gone bad to the extent that youths are dropping out of school and spending all day on street corners wearing three trousers at least.
“They bath in secluded bathrooms, closed doors, but they love to walk around with their clothes revealing their bodies and if you ask them what is the reason behind walking almost half naked, they have no explanation to it.
“When you look at this generation you will notice it's totally lost and as a person you will wonder what is left for the future if our generation [Zembe and Thomas) is gone. So us as parents we then decided to come out with the song Vhuvhuruka as an awareness message,” Thomas said.
Vhuvhuruka is a gospel song although it is centred on awareness.
“It is just an awareness song and you find out that even God wants the people to do good and when He created a person he expected them to live a clean life free from drug abuse. They must be reminded that their bodies are the temple of God, hence the reason to ensure its purity.”
Thomas said the song also had a Frontline Kids beat with the flavour of Mhande, the band is known for producing fast music.

“For the song Vhuvhuruka to come out nicely we used a fusion of Mhande and Chinyambera. If you listen to the drums you will find out that it’s a bit slow because we wanted it to send a clear message to the targeted audience.
“The song is too educative such that whoever listens to it their life is bound to change,” Thomas said.
He added: “When I approached Zembe with the idea, he really liked it. We are now in our late 50s, have grandchildren and we expect to see some positive things from them, hence the idea of educating them came into play to protect them from peer pressure.”
Thomas said the Frontline Kids was still alive, adding that it was brewing something in the studio.
