Alick Macheso Latest Album ‘Tsoka DzeRwendo Sells 100 000 Copies In 1Day
Sungura musician Alick Macheso has regained his past glory after releasing his 10th album ‘ Tsoka Dzerwendo’, it sold more than 100 000 copies on Monday in Harare. Each Copy was sold for one dollar but some fans paid more than they could have paid .
“We don’t have an exact number at the moment but from the collection done so far, we have breached the 100 000 mark and are failing to meet demand”, said Macheso’s manager.
“We are busy to try and avail as many as 100 000 copies tomorrow because we have been receiving numerous calls from our sales teams across the country saying they are running out of stock”, he added.
Alick Macheso reportedly spent time on the streets monitoring the sales. ”I was on the ground during the afternoon and the fans were willing to buy more than one CD, someone told me that he would stand by me till the end and buying my music and original copies is one such way of showing that support”, said the Sungura king.
Macheso said this was encouraging to all musicians because it shows there is future in music if they get their act together. He also confirmed a countrywide tour to promote this album.
This might just be the comeback Macheso’s fans have been hoping for and for the entire Sungura genre as well. Selling one hundred thousand copies in one day in this day and age has to be some kind of record.
