Ras Caleb set to release his album entitled The Rascal's Manuscript
Rising dancehall chanter Caleb Tareka, popularly known in the Zim-dancehall industry as Ras Caleb is promising fireworks on his forthcoming album, The Rascals Manuscript.
The Masvingo-born artist who is known by his slogan, "Zvikiribidi zvangu", rose to stardom after penning soulful tracks such as Tokwe Mukosi, Toropito, Nehanda and Mwana wenyu. Ras Caleb believes the forthcoming 10-track album will scale him to dizzy heights that will enable him to compete without fear with other heavyweights in the industry, the likes of Tocky Vibes, Killer T, Soul Jah Love and Seh Calaz.
Some of the songs on the forthcoming project are Rasta in the jungle, Hovhiyo and Ndouya. On his Facebook page, Ras Caleb added on to say that the album carries some conscious music and is filled with deep and inspiring messages. It is not limited to reggae dancehall, but has several other genres incorporated. Ras Caleb who said the album is set to be released next month has also performed some of the singles which make up the album at some of his local shows.
The dreadlocked chanter started his musical career as a junior soldier in the Salvation Army. He never abandoned music when he left Zimbabwe for South Africa to pursue a Diploma in Journalism and Media Studies. He returned home in 2010 and settled for Harare a year later. His emotional chart buster, Tokwe Mukosi (on Pure niceness riddim) was voted as the best conscious song in 2014’s Zim-Dancehall awards.
Some of the people I have talked to said that they have fallen in love with his music because of his voice. I quoted someone saying, "Haaaa mdara voice ra jahman vaye vaye rinondiita bho..." Moreover, Ras Caleb has also done collaborations with artists like Thelma, Pah Chihera and the Zim-HipHop femcee Trae Yung.
