Unlike other rhumba/kwasa-kwasa artists, he does not dress in over the top fashion with a flamboyant hairstyle to match; so one would be tempted to think that he is in another genre.  However, the truth of the matter is that the young man from Khwai - not far from Maun - is a force to reckon with in the rumba genre, which he demonstrated recently by winning the backtrack award during the President's Day celebrations.

His album, O Ntshetse Morago contains six tracks, namely Re Ja Koma, O Ntshetse Morago, Khutsana, Re Bulele, Shuma and Yesu, which are all engaging.  Although given the number of tracks in the album, some might think that it is short, but the shortest track is actually six minutes long.  With big guys in the market currently hibernating, if properly marketed, Goddy should be able to make a kill with O Ntshetse Morago.

The talented Goddy not only did leading vocals but backing vocals and gimmicks too.

Muzee Chikopa played lead, rhythm and bass guitars, while Munyaradzi Viya, who played keyboard, also did the recording, mixing and mastering of the album.

O Ntshetse Morago is well-produced and most certainly Goddy and his boys did their homework.

The album is a must-buy for the fans of the genre and there is no doubt that with this album, the artist is going to give his rivals a good run for their money.

The only downside is that the sleeve, especially the front part, is not attractive, which might be a turnoff to potential buyers.  Goddy and 100 percent Africa Dance are currently in the studio cooking an album, which has already been titled Selepe.  There is no doubt that the artist is going to become a household name soon.
