Chashe and Tinashe will have their anticipated show at the HIFA Lay’s Global Stage this Saturday, May 2, 2015, at 12:30pm. The two met for the first time on 27 April on their rehearsals ahead of the concert.
When they did their hit song Chashe, now based in the United Kingdom, was living in Boston, USA and Tinashe was in Zimbabwe, having just returned from Malaysia where he’d made a number of useful connections. One of these was Anton Morgan, who is based in Asian,he put together the separate recordings they sent him to produce ‘Zvekupenga’.
The collaboration happened almost entirely over the Internet – Facebook and WhatsApp helping them record their catchy, world-class tune.
Perhaps appropriately, Zimbo Jam interviewed these two on Facebook Messenger, in anticipation of their concert.
Chashe says, "We first got in touch over Facebook actually. A mutual friend put us in touch, Mr Munya Dodo We talked about maybe doing a song together as we both felt that collaborating with other Zimbabwean musicians is a great way to support each other."
Tinashe listened to her music and loved it and this lead to the collaboration.On their interview on how they manage to release a song while they were in different countries this is what they have to say,Chashe,
"
"Well, we liaised over Skype and email a lot for pre- and post- production, sending audio files back and forth. I went into the studio with Anton Morgan on Skype for the whole session! I wasn't entirely convinced it would work, recording from another country, but we were pleasantly surprised by the turn out!"
"We definitely used the technology that was at our disposal. We sent tracks back and forth via the Internet. Anton (our producer) was in Malaysia, Chashe was in Boston, and I was in Harare. I remember bouncing off the first concept of the song over WhatsApp messages" that's according to Tinashe.
