The CD and DVD launch will combine with a music show and Vusi will perform in yet another world-class event. It took almost a year to come up with the end product and Braveheart, a company that was behind Vusi’s recording, has finally finished the last touches on the DVD and CD.
In a press brief yesterday, the director of Braveheart, Joe Manuel said the launch will be a red carpet event and everything will be streamed live on big screens at the Piazza. “We will stream Vusi’s grand entrance from his room at GICC,” he highlighted. He said Vusi would be transported from GICC to Stanbic Bank Piazza in a chopper. He said they will set up everything four days before the event and the rehearsals will begin two days prior to the event.
Looking back, Manuel said they had brought big artists like Rebecca Malope, Lungi, Keke and Benjamin Dube to Botswana therefore it was high time they came up with their own in-house project.
“God spoke to me about Vusi, he is the right man to work with,” he said. Manuel said they wanted something unique and of high quality hence the live CD and DVD recording. He said after signing Vusi for four years, they planned everything in-house. He told the media that the whole project is valued at P950 000. “It was huge, we engaged professionals, we used 13 camera angles and Vusi had a six piece band with seven backup vocalists,” he said.
He said after recording the DVD and CD live, four months later they took it for overdubbing at SABC studios in Johannesburg. Manuel said they engaged the best in South Africa in order to get the best quality. “We now have people coming from as far as London, Kenya, Uganda, Lesotho and Swaziland for the launch,” he said.
For his part, Vusi said the live recording gave him a bigger platform as a singer and church minister.
“The production was out of this world and I thank Braveheart for believing in me,” he said. Vusi said he is looking forward to the launch because he would take his music to greater heights. “I started music in 2005 and I have been singing since I was 13, therefore I am a musician who carries messages of restoration,” he said.
He promised that the launch would be a life-changing event for everyone. Vusi said on top of the entertainment, they would deposit greatness into everyone. He said he now aims to take God’s movement to other countries through his gospel.
