No one, at this point, can question the special sensitivity of Paul
Tawonezvi to take a complex, powerful and meaningful message, and
return it in the form of a hug, in the form of a well-cared song that, like a
sunny morning in the middle of winter, comfort our souls and encourage
us to joy in goodness.
In your presence is a single that one already sense from the first chords
that it will be a pleasant 5 minutes of delicate harmonies, very well
blended choruses and warm and vibrant melodies. Also for this occasion,
Paul has summoned The Rusike Brothers, and as it could not be for less,
the renowned Zimbabwean musicians have added some exquisite notes
and funky timbres that soften the rhythm of the song and add a very
welcoming subtle flow.
The artist as a channel, a premise that is fulfilled in Tawonezvi's work and
that connects people with his most noble and hospitable essence. This
hymn by Paul, In your presence, in the presence of God, reveals the
wisdom of humility, of the generous gesture of one who carries a lot
inside and gives it like a caress, inviting us "to love one another" and
pray for each other".
