Musician Jah Prayzah’s latest video Watora Mari released last Saturday has broken records and appears to been on the way to breaking barriers for him continentally and most likely internationally.
The video, a collaboration with Tanzanian Diamond Platinumz off Jah Prayzah’s latest Mudhara vachauya has garnered a staggering 200000 hits in just 48 hours.
As if that is not enough, the video has also caught the attention of MTV Base East Africa and MTV Base South Africa which is likely to unlock doors for the towering artiste who stock keeps rising.
MTV Base South Africa tweeted about the video
Manager Keen Mushapaidze said they were happy with the tremendous response the video has received
“The video has gained tremendous response and we are happy that people love it. It has not only given a boost in interest to the song itself but the whole album,” Mushapaidze said.
“We have always known fans would love it but never expected it would be this big. In less than 48hrs we have close to 200 000 views and that is massive. It is breaking Zimbabwe records in numerous ways and we are glad it has incited that feeling among our fans.”
By midnight on August 15 the track had an astounding 201,199 views.
He said there the milestone was not only for the Jah Prayzah camp but also for the whole Zimbabwean music fraternity.
“We are not only celebrating this for Jah Prayzah but also for Zimbabwe. We set a bar and expect all other musicians to follow suit. That is how the industry should go,” Mushapaidze said.
“We also remain thankful to Diamond Platnumz and his management team as they have also pushed for us to get here. It’s not easy but if you can get such backing.”
Mushapaidze said they had also decided to withhold the video for the title track Mudhara vachauya shot in Monaco France to ensure the videos do not compete for attention.
