In an interview, Garakara said he has been researching, strategising and mapping a way forward since music is evolving.

“I have been busy researching methods which can help me to benefit from music.

“I am also putting up a plan which can save me from piracy.

“In a bid to benefit from music I am also printing CDs so that I can get some money out of the music.

“I last released an album in 2016 and from there I have been researching ways to move forward,” he said.

He added:

“I have starved my fans of new stuff for several years but now I am quenching their thirst.

“The album is now ready, I am only preparing CDs before I release it.

“You got hold of me at the right time when I have something tangible to talk about.”

Some of the songs on this album include Nhasi Zvangu and Undiluted Joy.
