Amos Mahendere ‘rises from the dead’

Mahendere, who hails from the famous family band, Mahendere Brothers, said he had brought a different flavour of music to cater for all ages in the gospel fraternity.

GOSPEL sensation Amos Mahendere is back after a sabbatical, launching a 12-track album last Saturday at the Anglican Cathedral in Harare.

Mahendere, who hails from the famous family band, Mahendere Brothers, said he had brought a different flavour of music to cater for all ages in the gospel fraternity.

“We are into music and will always preach and teach the scriptures through music until nature calls it a day. We will not let our fans down. This time, I chose to give our fans a feel of the contemporary amapiano and dancehall,” Mahendere said.

“We are just going to do what God has sent us to do. God continues to make me younger and dancing is still my magic wand. We will certainly bring back the mabhachi memories to our dear fans.”

The latest 12-track offering is dubbed, Amapiano Hymm Praise Volume 1, is a clinical departure from the hit Jehova Ndiye Mufudzi Wangu. 

The first six tracks are amapiano and the last six are done in the acapella style with no instruments.

Mahendere said he chose to edify his trademark by bringing in his productions as volumes with this latest offering being the first one.

Born and bred in Chitungwiza, the gospel artiste still proves to be a force to reckon within the music industry despite the lengthy hibernation.

For those who used to watch TV a few years after the turn of the millennium, they still have fond memories of the man behind the Jehova Ndiye Mufudzi Wangu hit because of his unmistakable magical dancing skills.
