THE United States embassy yesterday launched #HappyFriday virtual celebrations meant to commemorate local celebrities including the late Solomon Skuza whose music made a huge impact in the 1980s and 1990s.
This week’s Embassy focus was on Skuza as it posted his picture and background information on Facebook alongside other living and late celebrities.
Skuza would go on to release multiple albums, singles, and compilations with his band, Fallen Heroes,” wrote the embassy.
Born in Plumtree, Skuza sang in his native Kalanga as well as Ndebele, English, and Shona,” the embassy said.
Some of Skuza’s music followers loved the initiative by the embassy, with National Gallery of Zimbabwe assistant curator for Bulawayo, Clifford Zulu, describing the musician as “down to earth”.
