As a producer, he has worked with several musicians in Botswana.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking forward to doing collaborations with musicians here, artists like Nepman of the \u2018Nalelo,\u2019 fame but we will see. I am also happy to share the stage with reggae group Black Missionaries, Lulu and Mizu Band which will back me up. We have had intensive training,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dr Tawanda described his music as unique in touch and standard adding that it has its own taste and level of quality.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do dancehall, house and traditional but being a musician and producer I am flexible so I am not that restricted, I do all genres of music,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The artist, who has stayed in Botswana for close to seven years, started his career in 2000 and so far he has five albums.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr Tawanda is a top musician, he has worked with several musicians and on top of that he is a top producer. His song \u2018Baba,\u2019 is doing well and the best we thought of doing was to bring him here so that he interacts with local artists among others so that they learn from him his success story,\u201d said Maliro.<\/p>\n
