Popular Afrojazz artiste, Maizon Tazvitya is going to perform his latest offering, Karwiyo Kaya at the Munich-Harare Arts Gathering(MUHAG) tomorrow and the song is about how the Covid-19 pandemic took a toll on his budding career among many other turmoils.
Speaking to this publication, the ‘Majurumbwe’ hit-maker said he penned the song after enduring loss of income, relatives, and friends owing to the pandemic.
“Karwiyo Kaya(That Song) was written after I was severely affected by the loss of income owing Covid-19 induced lockdown
The pandemic affected anyone despite your social status and it shook me most when a lady I knew very well succumbed to the virus.
