\u201cOliver Mtukudzi is my friend and we are discussing a lot as regards music and we hope something will come up between him and Agorosso,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Agorosso, real name Lloyd Phaundi, confirmed the trip, saying they are expected to leave today and that the birthday celebration is tomorrow.<\/p>\n
