Harmonize blasts Jaguar for siding with promoters who failed to honor his contract

Tanzanian singer Harmonize has bashed singer Jaguar for a statement he made several weeks ago, siding with a promoter who had organised his show in Eldoret that turned chaotic.

In an interview with Mzazi Willy M Tuva, Jaguar said that Harmonize should have performed in Eldoret even though the promoter failed to honor their agreement.

Harmonize in a recent interview with Kiss FM said that Jaguar comments were uncalled for because the promoter did a shady job.

“Jaguar should have tried to reach out to me as the artiste or even my management like he did to the promoters,” Harmonize told Adelle and Shaffie on Kiss FM.

“I felt so bad when I heard about him commenting on radio. Kama msanii, namheshimu sana na pia ni mtu anaheshimika pia na watu, and what he says makes a great impact on people. Yeye ni kiongozi wa wasanii ila sio wa promoters.”

Poorly organised

Harmonize went on to add that he was fully prepared for the show but after learning the promoter was dodgy and had neglected him, he decided not to take stage.

“Nilifanya hadi roadshow in preparation of the show na sound check and was fully prepared, but at 1am I was told the show will not happen because the promoters were to pay the contract which they had not honored. They had not arranged even my flight to Eldoret. I mean it was poorly done.” he said. 

Harmonize also said that he was still willing to perform but his security team wouldn’t let him go out there.  He said Jaguar should have gotten information from his side and that of the promoters.

“Nilihisi kana kwamba Jaguar amenibagua labda kwa sababu sitoki Kenya lakini anafaa ajue kua sisi wote ni wasanii wa East Africa. I respect his work and his music, which I started listening to when I was still in school. Things happen and I would have explained to him so well. He would have gone on radio with information from both sides,” he said.
