is name is Nomore Mudewairi but one wonders where this Changamire Dombo came from. Yes you are so curious to know its origins. Gentle readers you are not very far from knowing the whereabouts of this man a soft spoken and talented with a soothing voice. The man himself has this to say,
“Nomore Mudewairi is my real name, then Kingston is my art name it has a meaning. I’m inspired by King David with the way he bow to God till God made him righteous. If translated in Shona King means Changamire them Stone- Dombo”, said Mudewairi
 Since then the name Changamire Dombo has gained popularity amongst Kutenda fans base.
Backed by Kutenda Express Changamire Dombo music started in 2010 when he released his first sungura album “Gore Rino” which carries songs;Wekuroora, Mukana, Ndaremerwa,Manager,Tisarambane,and Wakaendepi?
Two years later Changamire was on it again when he released“Farai Nekutenda” with songs Farai MuZimbabwe, Ndiri Pahasha, Tsika Dzedu, Loisa and Mudzimai Wangu.

His latest offering  is one of the best that one will never be punished after listening to it.It gives one some benefits of taking his or her time on it.It is all about a sympathiser calling upon the Almighty God to give him strength so as to take care of his children and let them enjoy the benefits of all basics in life.The sympathiser however believes that with God’s grace all be fine and his mission will be fulfilled.
The lyrics goes like this
Ndipeiwo simba mwari ndirerewo vana wangu
Ndipeiwo simba mwari ndirerewo vana wangu
Ndirerewo vana vangu ndichiri mupenyu
Ndirerewo vana vangu ndichiri mupenyu

Changamire Dombo said he was inspired by The late Leornard Dembo and Tongai Moyo and he sings for passion rather than money.
“ Music run in my blood.I sing for passion since I will be preaching the word of God.Musicians should be strong in this industry because its not an easy one.You need to be patient and keep the ball rolling till your talent reach  to the top”,said Dombo.
