Macheso rocks Dallas -Review |
|
Tuesday, 11 November 2008 |
| |  | | |  He effortlessly played the bass guitar while it was held by another band member at a horizontal slant and even used his chin instead of fingers to pick up the cords. Some audience members got carried away such that they jumped onto the stage to dance along with the band members. The band members accommodated the concert goers that danced on the stage. While it might sound an exaggeration that a guitar can be made to talk and sing, Macheso's attempt to make the guitar sing was within reach, at least he proved that a guitar could be made to wail in the same manner a keyboard does. The outfit had guitars and drums with no congos, keyboards or horns. But still the music beamed from the tiny stage to make many dance for a four-hour stretch into the wee hours of Sunday. Many hardworking artistes can complete a two hour concert and Macheso's four-hour gig was a rare feat considering the physically demanding dance by his band.

 Macheso an affable man who was born in 1968 to Malawian parents is multilingual and can play the rhythm guitar with the same skill as he does the bass. He sang hits from Magariro, Simbaradzo, Zvakanaka Zvakadaro, Zvido Zvenyu and Ndezvashe. He also danced and he definitely offered the crowd more than what they had paid for. He offered his whole self and he proved to be a quintessential entertainer. Alick Macheso is soft-spoken and exhibits humility. His demeanor is friendly and lot of his fans easily approached him for photo ops. There is no doubt, circumstances allowing that Macheso and Mberikwazvo would love to treat their fans to another show in the nearby future. - Africa Rhythms |
