Alick Macheso, the veteran Sungura musician, has postponed the release of his album at Alex Sports Club in Harare.
Originally planned for 7 June, the album launch will now take place on August 2, 2024, coinciding with warmer outdoor temperatures.
In a statement shared on his social media platforms, Macheso explained that the decision to postpone was due to the chilly weather typically experienced in June.
Despite the change in timing, the venue for the album launch remains Alex Sports Club. Reads the statement:
Alick Macheso and Orchestra Mberikwazvo regret to announce a change in the date of their highly anticipated album launch.
Originally slated for the 7th of June, the event will now take place on the 2nd of August.
This decision comes after careful consideration and in response to feedback from our fans. There have been concerns about the weather, as June is a very cold month and having the launch in August, with warmer temperatures, allows our fans to fully enjoy this momentous occasion. The venue remains the same, “Alex Sports Club,” an outdoor arena which is not best in cold weather of June.
Furthermore, August is widely recognized as a month of festivities both in Zimbabwe and around the world.
By rescheduling the album launch to August, we aim to create an even more vibrant and celebratory atmosphere for our fans to enjoy.
Alick Macheso and Orchestra Mberikwazvo remain committed to delivering an unforgettable album and launch experience for our fans.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the change in date and sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support.
