Supported by the Zimbabwe Traditional Unity, Manluckerz who was in his trademark traditional attire was literally unstoppable fusing music and dance.

“I had a memorable show on Saturday, I felt good after our work. The guys played it well, good eye contact and team work, especially on stage management. We managed to share what were in our heart and am now released,” said the humble singer.

Amid the pomp and fanfare that characterized his performance, the singer took time to talk about the subject that is dear to his heart- collaborations.

“I was trying to tell the world that ManLuckerz and the Zim-Traitional Unity is after building up bridges between cultures and developing collaborations between different traditions,” he said.

Together with his band the Zimbabwe Traditional Unity, the energetic singer is known to capture the heart of many with his Shona lyrics.

To his credit, Manluckerz who is very fluent in English and Swedish has chosen to sing his songs in his native Shona language.

So dear is the African culture to the singer that he conducts dancing and cultural workshops on the continent’s tradition in Swedish schools.
