Emelda Tshuma, an award-winning songwriter, recording artist, and creative, proudly unveils her powerful debut single, “Rumbidzo”—a deeply personal song of worship and surrender, now available on all major streaming platforms.
“Rumbidzo”—which translates from Shona to “Praise” or “Worship”—is not just a song, but a spiritual offering. It marks a significant milestone for Emelda as her first official single release, capturing the essence of her heart for God and her calling to spread the gospel through music.
“‘Rumbidzo’ is my personal altar,” Emelda shares. “I may not have silver or gold, but what I do have is my worship. This song is my way of pouring it all out before the Lord.”
Inspired by 1 Chronicles 16:29, the song’s lyrics are drawn from Scripture and deep personal reflection. With verses like:
“Handina zvandauya nazvo (I came here with nothing),
Asi chandinacho irumbidzo yangu (But what I have is my worship),”
and a moving chorus that declares:
“Ndodurura rumbidzo yangu semvura (I pour my worship like water),
Mumawoko enyu Baba (Into Your hands, Father),”
“Rumbidzo” is both intimate and anthemic, stirring the soul and leading listeners into a posture of worship. The song crescendos into a powerful bridge of ad-libs exalting God as Creator, Redeemer, and King, declaring:
“Ndichamurumbidza mazuva angu ose (I will praise Him all my days), Ndiyeyu Mwari (He is God)!”
Produced with excellence and spiritual sensitivity, “Rumbidzo” showcases Emelda’s gift for crafting songs that blend African musical richness with universal themes of worship and surrender.
This debut marks only the beginning of what promises to be a powerful musical journey.
