Has sungura music been on the decline stage since both Zimdancehall music and Zim hip-hop music have a huge listening audience in Zimbabwe's music industry?
The funny thing is when most people mention Sungura music the first thing that comes to their minds are Alick Macheso songs and that's about it.
There are other Sungura musicians besides Alick Macheso though.

Still that ain't gonna change the facts. Zimdancehall music is loved by many people more than Sungura music.
Additionally all you just have to ask is when was the last time Sungura videos were trending in Zimbabwe?
What about the comparison of relevancy between Sungura artists vs Zimdancehall artists?
Music is like fashion, there will always be new trends coming in and some trends phasing out. You just can't help it.
Recording artists who seem to have so much longevity in the music business are the ones who don't remain fixed in a particular trend.
What they seem to do is notice the unique selling proposition of an incoming trend then hop on it before everyone catches up.
What do you suggest Sungura artists should have done during the rise of Zimdancehall music in Zimbabwe?
Definitely to feature Zimdancehall artists on their Sungura songs for the purpose of hyping up other future releases while at the same time tapping into that Zimdancehall market whereby they would also get featured on a Zimdancehall riddim or something.
What if is a Sungura music artist actually hates the sound of Zimdancehall?
