Alick Macheso’s North American Tour

The bestselling artiste and talented bass player Alick Macheso whose distinctive sungura  beat propelled him to stardom is destined to perform in the United States this fall. Macheso whose scintillating live performances and charismatic stage presence have rocked audiences of all stripes made his debut international tour when he performed in London at the Southern African Summer Sunsplash Festival in June 2002. After attempts to carve a niche with his unique bass-strumming technique, his original rhythms resonated with music lovers and his album Simbaradzo disappeared from the shelves at a phenomenal rate, selling more than 350,000 copies. This was a historic record breaking success in his native land of Zimbabwe. Even the album Zvakanaka Zvakadaro that followed Simbaradzo garnered attention and sold in excess of 100,000 in the first week alone. Macheso honed his skills and refined his musicianship when he was with Khiama Boys. He later assembled a team of talented musicians and came up with Orchestra Mberikwazvo. His energetic stage presence has become fireworks particularly with his trademark dance, The Razor Wire.  For the fans that love singing along the sungura guru, this coming tour is a great opportunity to experience Macheso’s magic first hand. Alick Macheso has won more hearts with his blend of guitar strumming, dancing and singing at the same time. He is an entertainer extraordinaire whose performances leave revelers yearning for more. With his expansive repertoire Alick Macheso is ready to make North American audiences dance all night into the wee hours.
