By James Gwati-Deputy Arts Minister Tino Machakaire said government is proposing to construct a recording studio in Bulawayo which will be used by artists at minimum cost.

“We should build a studio in Bulawayo that will help artists, especially up-and-coming who can’t afford costly studios. The studio should be for everyone and be a hub for everyone. The studio will also work as a unifying factor in Bulawayo where artists meet, mingle and create synergies.”

“We will also be having artists from other cities like Harare, Kwekwe, and Mutare coming through to record there and creating healthy synergies as Zimbabwean artists. Another issue we should curb is the high rate of music piracy, it’s a pandemic and we should come up with ways to fight it.”
