WHAT really is influencing Baba Harare to make another career U-turn?
His dramatic return to Jiti music, after a year of gospel music, has triggered suspicion that his marriage might be on the rocks amid dwindling income levels.
Despite the musician’s public denial, his associates suggested that Baba Harare’s wife influenced the decision to choose a “cleaner” path, away from secular music.

However, Baba Harare attributed the switch to a spiritual calling received during a sold-out show in Australia last year.
But, those within his circle insisted the main reason was that his wife wanted a better image of Baba Harare, as a married man, given the way his Jiti stage work and lyrics had heavy sexual connotations.
The riches of secular music were outweighed by what the wife expected of her husband and this forced his hand in his decision to turn to the gospel genre.
