Dr. Colbert Mukwevho
Dr. Colbert Mukwevho’s album “Ido nela rothe” is once again available on digital stores. This comes after a post by artist manager Rita Dee Naphawe, indicating that the music had been removed on digital platforms.
Rita Dee said that most of Dr. Colbert Mukwevho’s online music uploads were done by previous associates, thus preventing him from benefiting from his own work.
As a result, his entire music catalog will now be re-uploaded through his own channel, Ngoma Dza Tshitomboni, where all his songs will be under his control, allowing him to monitor and benefit from them.
“We had to temporarily take everything down so that he can re-upload his music, starting from his first album up to his latest masterpiece.”
“We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, but this action has been taken for the benefit of Dr. Colbert Mukwevho, as he owns all his masters and copyrights ,” posted Rita Dee
Dr. Colbert Mukwevho’s albums will be back on all digital platforms on September 15, 2023.
