Artistes and entertainment consumers in and around Mutoko district got a lifeline after a local lawyer Jivas Mudimu (pictured) established a recording studio — Jidim Entertainment — at the fast growing Makaha centre recently.
Apart from the recording studio, Jidim Entertainment also operates three entertainment hubs in the area, including the popular Jidim Night Club.
The joint has played host to a number of dancehall artistes including Mostaff, T Makwikwi and Monyourous, among others.
The studio has recorded a musical riddim titled Jidim Riddim and they have extended invitations to upcoming artistes from Mutoko and surrounding areas to come and record.
Some of the local artistes that have accessed services at Jidim Entertainment include T Youngman, Bee Man and Nigger Notice.
Top producer Samcris, who once worked with Chillspot Records and now under Samcris Production has been engaged as a consultant by Jidim Entertainment.

“All we want is to bring confidence to upcoming talent here in Mutoko, so by establishing a recording studio we wanted to groom talent as well as curb drug abuse issues,” he said.
“With established artistes coming, they are having a feeling of the studio and mixing with upcoming artistes.”
Mudimu said they had been approached by the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services to have inmates record at the studio.
Several artistes have hailed the initiative, saying it will go a long way in establishing talent as well as curbing drug abuse.
Mostaff urged all upcoming artistes to come and record their songs and pledged to have collaborations.
