The songs that shaped Soul Jah Love’s music career

Following his passing, social media was flooded with condolences, with fans and fellow artists sharing songs and photos of the artist. The most popular genre among young people in Zimbabwe, Zimdancehall made artists like Soul Jah Love synonymous with the ghetto community in which he grew up.
 
It’s tracks like ‘Ndini Uya Uya’ and ‘Gum-kum’ that vaulted Soul Jah Love’s career. He was responsible for signature chants like “chibabababa”, “hauite hauite” and “mafundan’a.” Soul Jah Love addressed love and poverty in his music, winning the hearts of ordinary people
