In less than 2 weeks since Adele launched her comeback single – Hello – after a three year break, it has rocketed to number one around the world, become the fastest selling single in the UK this year, attracted millions of views on YouTube and triggered an avalanche of cover versions…
We found one cover that will blow your mind.
It comes from a guy called Taps Mugadza, a one-time orphan from Zimbabwe who turned to music in his teens.
The 26-year-old activist and musician who now lives in Los Angeles, was abandoned on the doorstep of St. Joseph’s orphanage for boys when he was just two days old, and that he revealed in an interview last year how he used to cry himself to sleep as a little boy.
Taps began singing gospel music at church at 15 and went on to come third in the Zimbabwe Idols competition. He joined a Christian mission group – ROCK of Africa – which helped find him sponsors to go to America in 2009 where he studied at the Musicians Institute-College of Contemporary Music in Hollywood and graduated as most “Outstanding Artist”.
