In an interview with H-Metro from their UK base, Tonderai said the single celebrated uprightness.
“We are set to release a single on the 4th of May (today), it is a song that talks about how some of the behaviour that people are showing these days can easily be compared to that of dogs.
“Dogs are known to sometimes bark for no apparent reason, which is what some people are now doing on social media, passing out negative comments about other people without getting their facts checked.
“It is a piece that basically says people are supposed to control themselves because we have been behaving like animals of late,” said Tonderai.
The talented vocalist and dancer said the single was a teaser off their forthcoming album titled Tahwinha, due for release on June 30.
“The name of our album is called Tahwinha, which is meant to give out positive vibes to people.
“It talks of how people are supposed to live a fearless life, people these days are limiting themselves a lot.
“We are trying to make people view life positively, despite what the world is currently going through, Covid-19, war, among other things,” said Tonderai.
The duo emerged from an acapella group that they were part of for seven years.
“Before Kambo Boys, we were in an acapella group for seven years and we released an album called Ever Pressing On.
“In 2014, Simba and I were now living in the same town in Ipswich, Suffolk, and we would meet up and bounce off ideas at a friend’s studio.
“We once used pro-Nigerian Afro beat sound and we even recorded a few afrobeat tracks then one day Simba was on YouTube and he bumped into a sungura tutorial by Mono Mukundu,” Tonderai said.
He continued: “Simba shared the link and on the very same day we called Mono and asked him to make us a sample of a sungura beat and he sent the beat and we went on to record our first track Melo.
“It was well received and we decided to do a video for it which also got a decent reception.
“From there, after a long discussion, we decided we would leave afro beats and stick to sungura.”
Asked why they chose sungura, Tonderai explained:
“We chose sungura because it is a genre that identifies with us as Zimbabweans, South Africans have amapiano and kwaito, Americans have hip hop and no one can beat them at it.
“As Zimbabweans, we boast of our sound of sungura, nobody can do it better than us.
“When you have a sound that is rooted in you, there is no limit to what you can do with it, from arrangement, code progression, the potential of this sound is endless,” he told H-Metro.
