He added that new tracks will be introduced to offer fresh energy. The group believes this balance will enhance the event. They want every supporter to enjoy the range of material. They hope the show leaves a lasting impression.

Amaqaqa had a strong year marked by several key performances. They held their first stand alone show on May 31 at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo.

The album launched in September at the Hope Centre. They later performed it for South African fans at the Market Theatre in Johannesburg.

The group received further recognition through a Bulawayo Arts Awards nomination. They are nominated for Outstanding Imbube or Acappella Group. They share the category with Great Stars, Ijongosi and Amaculo Enjabulo. Ncube said the nomination motivates them to work harder. He said it confirms that people notice their progress. He added that the recognition strengthens their commitment to excellence.
