Nisongo farafara sends a strong message to the youth.

Mushe Moss Tshivhase, better known as Mushe from the award-winning song Toti by C-Jay, has finally released his new single titled songo farafara and a gospel album titled Faranani.

The title of his new song, Nisongo farafara, (which means “don’t touch”), sends a strong message to young people, especially young men, to obey the Tshivenda culture and respect their fathers' property. According to the Tshivenda culture it is taboo for a boy child to play with his father's belongings.

According to Mushe, children no longer respect the Tshivenda traditions. “I cannot wear my father’s trousers or shoes, even if we wear the same size. It is disrespectful and our culture is against it,” Mushe said. “Sometimes parents allow their children to do things that are against our tradition like allowing children to play with important things.”

Mushe hails from the valleys of Nzhelele in the Fondwe village, but is now residing in Gauteng. Besides releasing the hit single, Mushe also released a gospel album that he will officially launch together with the single.

The album has seven songs and includes songs such as Nga iwe, mufuna pfunzo and tsini tsini.

Mushe thanked the people who helped him to compile this album, and more specifically Tshifhiwa Netshiongolwe, the Answer Worship team, Fizzy, C-Jay, Bamba, Cashflow, Floydbest, and the Breakthrough Music Band.

“My gospel album deals with unity, love and peace. Most of my tracks there, and the song thabelo, talk about hope,” he said.
