Artist Overview

Zoravo (born Harun Laston) is a prolific Tanzanian gospel artist, songwriter, and worship leader who has emerged as a central figure in the East African “prophetic” worship movement. Based in Dar es Salaam, he is the founder of Pizzicato Tz, a musical initiative dedicated to fostering spiritual revival through high-quality gospel production. He describes his ministry as a call to impart faith and hope to his generation, often utilizing “chants” and long-form spontaneous worship to lead listeners into deep prayer.

His career is defined by a series of powerful collaborations with top-tier African gospel ministers, including Paul Clement, Joel Lwaga, Bella Kombo, and Takie Ndou. He gained significant regional attention for his ability to blend soulful Swahili lyrics with atmospheric, contemporary arrangements. His music often goes beyond traditional songs, functioning as “experiences” recorded live, which has made him a staple in both private prayer rooms and large-scale worship conferences across Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda.

In 2026, Zoravo has reached a new career peak with the release of his massive 16-track album, End Time Revival, which debuted on 28 March, 2026. The project features an impressive lineup of guests, including South Africa’s Khaya Mthethwa and Takie Ndou, as well as local powerhouses like Joel Lwaga and Rehema Simfukwe. Following the release, he has been on an extensive tour, ministering at major venues such as the BK Arena in Kigali. His 2026 projects, including the hit single “Umenitoa Mbali (Ningekuwa Wapi),” continue to showcase his evolution as a “statesman” of Swahili worship, bridging cultural and linguistic gaps through music.
