When it’s 31 October, what comes to mind? Definetly Guspy Warriors Song, but unfortunately this year its not a Saturday.

Here are a few musical facts about Guspy Warrior:

Mechanic Manyeruke first discovered Guspy’s interest in music when he was only four years old when he took him to the United Kingdom. He started dancing to Bob Marley’s music, which was being played in a shop when they were passing by. Born into a musical family, he became a Rastafarian in 2009 and believes the Rastafarian culture and philosophies have made him a better person compared to how he was before.

Guspy, who is inspired by Jamaican musicians Sizzla Kalonji, Gentleman, and Turbulence, recorded his first album “Born Blessed” in 2008, but none of the 21 songs it carried received any airplay. It was his second album, “Time will tell,” which made him popular. The album, which carried 42 tracks (18 reggae tunes, 15 dancehall tracks, and nine Shona songs), carried the hit song 31 October, which enjoyed favourable airplay on the local radio station.

In 2011, he produced a 17-track album called “Dance Hall Dada,” which had several hit songs such as “Kanondida,” which featured Lady Squanda, Dancehall Champions, and Summer Time. The following year, in 2012, he released his fifth album, “Handikwanise Kuzvitaura,” which carried 14 tracks, with songs such as “Seunononga,” “My Life,” “Sorry,” and “Breathless” being the most popular.
