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