“BABA SHARO WAS HEAVEN-SENT”: Kurai Makore Finds Solace in Alick Macheso’s Wisdom!

“BABA SHARO WAS HEAVEN-SENT!” Kurai Makore Opens Up on How Alick Macheso Helped Him Find Peace!

THE BIG STORY: Black Lions Band leader Kurai Makore has hailed sungura ace Alick Macheso as an oasis of knowledge, revealing that the veteran musician’s advice helped him overcome the mental drain of recent social media controversies.

Makore, who recently returned from his second UK tour where he shared the stage with Macheso, says he came back a much wiser artist. After finding himself caught in a public dispute involving his uncle, Thomas "Mukanya" Mapfumo, Makore is turning his back on internet drama to focus on his upcoming fourth studio album and his peaceful life as a village head.

Kurai Makore and Alick Macheso
MENTORSHIP: Kurai Makore credits Alick Macheso (Baba Sharo) with providing life-changing wisdom during their recent UK tour, helping him navigate the pressures of the music industry.

With a massive joint gig lined up in Masvingo on September 11, the bond between the sungura kingpin and the rising Black Lions frontman continues to strengthen.

A Father Figure in the Industry

The UK tour became a masterclass in resilience and professionalism for the young artist.

Makore admitted that before traveling to the UK, he was mentally drained by social media toxicity. However, spending time with Macheso drastically shifted his perspective.

Heaven-Sent Advice “I didn’t know that good people of Baba Sharo’s calibre still exist and his wisdom about life, art and family is unmatched... To me, Baba Sharo was heaven-sent because he was bold enough to tell me that I should keep working hard and become the person I have always wanted to be.”

He added that being recommended by a superstar of Macheso's stature is a major career triumph, describing him as a humble elder whose words can change a person's life.

Leaving the Past Behind

Focusing on new music instead of engaging in online family disputes.

Recently caught up in a social media storm involving copyright issues with his uncle, Thomas “Mukanya” Mapfumo, Makore has vowed not to entertain the drama any further.

End of the Discussion “We can’t keep discussing the past, even though people are curious to understand what happened and how I am coping. We are moving on, and currently we are in the studio working on our fourth album.”

Following the success of Gara Unzwe (2020), Ngoma Kurira (2022), and Dzimwe Nguva (2023), the Black Lions are slated to release their highly anticipated fourth project this October.

Finding Serenity in the Village

Makore is actively unplugging from the digital world to focus on his rural responsibilities.

To protect his peace and stay grounded, Makore revealed that he is limiting his time on the internet in favor of agricultural pursuits and community leadership.

A Different Kind of Boss “I am already doing my work and I now spend most of my time in the village where I am involved in horticulture and goat-rearing. I am also a village head and I would like to slow down on social media.”

This dual life as a touring musician and a rural community leader appears to be the perfect anchor for Makore as he navigates the unpredictable waters of the music industry.

SONA VERDICT

Maturity Under Pressure

Kurai Makore’s decision to step away from the toxic, highly publicized dispute with his uncle and focus on his craft shows immense maturity. The music industry is notorious for swallowing artists who prioritize online clout over studio time, but Makore is choosing a different path.

By seeking counsel from a scandal-free, hardworking veteran like Alick Macheso—and grounding himself in the quiet responsibilities of village life—Makore is building a resilient foundation. With his fourth album dropping next month, he is perfectly positioned to let his talent do the talking.
