By Paul Nyathi|The thousands of people who attended the Thomas Mapfumo concert on Saturday will take years to forget the experience they got on the night.

Playing in the country for the first time in fifteen years, Mukanya took to the stage for a tantalising four hours.

Mapfumo showed the crowd that he still has the energy of old singing and showcasing some dance styles as he took them down memory lane with some of his old popular hits.

He came on stage after Winky D had set the bar high for performers of the night.

Winky D is known for outclassing international acts because of his approach, but he failed to maintain the record against Mukanya.

Winky D played most of his hits and sent the crowd wild when Oliver Mtukudzi joined him on stage for the song “Panorwadza Moyo”. It was a rare occasion because they rarely perform the song live together.

Most people did not expect Mukanya to be on stage for four hours because of his age and apparent frailty. He defied everything and enjoyed the homecoming event. The way he sang and danced showed that he was happy to be back home. After the old and popular hits, he rounded up his performance by belting out the new song that can be roughly titled “Chauya Chauya”.

He reminded people of his old days when he would churn out hits until sunrise. It was indeed a memorable affair and many people are calling for his return to the stage.
