In Episode 88 of Za Nyimbo TV, we sit down with Tawanda, a producer, singer and creative who takes us through his journey from his earlier Swisha alias to becoming the artist and producer we know today. Tawanda reveals the story behind “China Love”, how the beat came together, how the song eventually travelled beyond Malawi, and how it even received a remix featuring Nigerian star Dr. Sid. But this conversation goes much deeper than one hit song.
