In a surprising revelation that has captured the attention of fans and the music industry alike, renowned Jiti musician Baba Harare is reported to have changed his name to King David. This significant rebranding aligns with his recent shift from the vibrant rhythms of Jiti music to the uplifting sounds of Gospel.
Baba Harare, whose real name is Braveman Chizvino, has long been celebrated for his contributions to Jiti, a genre that combines traditional Zimbabwean rhythms with contemporary influences. With hits that resonated with many, he became a household name, known for his catchy tunes and energetic performances. However, in a bold move, he has decided to embrace a new musical direction that reflects his spiritual journey.
The name was revealed in a recently launched music video titled “Ngoma” by Ashy Anointed (Hannok) ft King David(Baba Harare) , in which he makes an appearance. The song conveys themes of gratitude and worship to the Lord.
This transition has not come without its challenges. Fans of his Jiti roots have expressed mixed feelings, with some embracing the change while others mourn the loss of his original sound.
