Zimbabwe’s multi-award winning artist, Jah Prayzah, who launched his latest album, Gwara on Sunday on Gateway Stream Music Application, is set to star in the album’s virtual launch this Friday.
Hmetro reports that Jah Prayzah is looking forward to the Gwara virtual show this Friday.
However, some users had challenges accessing the Gateway Stream Music App on Sunday, but Jah Prayzah was still impressed by the reach.
“Thank you to all my fans across the globe for the overwhelming love and support when I launched my album Gwara, on Sunday. We managed to reach over 250,000 users who were streaming my album in less than 48 hours on the Gateway Stream Music application,” said Jah Prayzah yesterday.
The Gwara album comprises 16 songs across various genres which include love medleys, traditional songs, and party music, ensuring that there is something for everyone. Before the launch of the album, Jah Prayzah (JP) lured his fans with the release of the single, “Svovi” which means “Darling” in Shona. The single was accompanied by a high-quality video production that was recorded fittingly on the resort island of Zanzibar.
“As Gateway Stream Music we are honored and humbled that Jah Prayzah chose to launch his album Gwara and celebrate his birthday on the Gateway Stream Music App. This is a sign that JP saw the potential reach, geographical spread, and ultimately the value in partnering us.’ said Isheanesu Makambira Gateway Stream Music Project Manager.
He further explained that the vision behind the development of the App is to empower artists as they can monetise their trade using technology. The Gateway Stream Music App enables artists to upload, sell, price, perform via the live stream facility and earn revenue through the Pay-Per-View platform and advertising support.
He added that the stream is a local innovation which compares directly to YouTube and enables artistes to generate an income during the tough COVID-19 pandemic where live shows, which are the main source of income for musicians, are prohibited to curb the spread of the virus.
