Seh Calaz 33rd birthday bash turns out to be a memorable night

Just like a movie night, a romantic one can take, the environment was cosy and comfortable.

Fans who had graced 7 Arts Theatre to celebrate Tawanda Mumanyi, popularly known as Seh Calaz’s 33rd birthday bash last Wednesday thought they were just going to enjoy an ordinary night but it turned out to be one of the most memorable nights in the Zim Dancehall fraternity.

Before his act curtains on the stage went down, as the Convicts Band was being put behind bars, the backing vocalist were caged in what Seh Calaz described as prison cells.

The Convicts Band was wearing orange, which is similar to real life prison attire.

Seh Calaz has never been shy to honour his late mother and on August 2, he opened his act with the song Amai, off his Bholato Bholato album.

In 2018, Seh Calaz dedicated the album to his mother to show how much he loved her.

“I owe every success to her so, I still have to continue showing her love and how much I appreciate her effort in my life because it is what put me where I am today.

“No one has managed to fill the void she left in my life,” he said.

“Her memories are still fresh; to me it’s like she died yesterday,” Seh Calaz told the media back then.

The hundreds who thronged the Avondale venue were left mesmerised by the acts of the night, who included Van Choga, Enzo Ishal, Ndunge Yut, Mbeu and Culture Love among other artists.

“I never thought that we were going to enjoy like this. Kambucha Boss made us happy, everyone who went on stage did his best and we really enjoyed,” said Samuel Kutinyu from Mbare.

Kutinyu’s sentiments were also echoed by Diana Linyama who said now they wait for the ghetto version of the birthday celebrations.

“We really enjoyed. The performance was superb, now we wait for the ghetto version of the birthday celebrations, obviously it will in Mbare,” Linyama told Zim Now.

She Calaz has since announced that another gig to celebrate his birthday in the ghetto is now at an advanced stage and he will make the dates available over the weekend
