Alfred Nenguwo and is a Zimbabwean award-winning Afro-jazz singer and songwriter.[1]
Alfred Nenguwo, born in Uzumba, Zimbabwe, is the oldest in a family of six. He was raised by his grandparents in the high-density suburb of Mbare, Harare. His grandfather used to listen to a lot of jazz music, so he would end up singing along to the music a lot. His uncles were also musical; one played the Mbira and the other one was a Reggae artist. Nenguwo started singing in the school choir when he was in primary school.
After singing in the school choir and later his church choir, Nenguwo joined a group called Afro-Diverse in 2008.[2] In 2013, he teamed up with singer Millicent Muchati, and they recorded an album entitled African Sun. The album was nominated three times at the 2014 ZIMA Awards, winning the best newcomers’ award.
