AWARD-winning Rhumba outfit Insimbi Zezhwane have arrived in Bulawayo ahead of their gig in the heart of the country’s cultural hub.
The GPS hitmakers are billed to perform at Palace Hotel on 21 April as they continue their bid to penetrate the local market.
The group started off on Monday in the rainbow province of Matabeleland South with a sublime display in Magwe/Mafuku in Gwanda that left the gold rich area buzzing.
The group went on to Matabeleland North in Nyathi on Independence Day.
The Zimbabwe Music Awards (Zima) 2022 Rhumba/Tshibilika award winners yesterday afternoon made their way to Palace Hotel for a sound check, a move that shows the business ideal of the group.
One of the band members, Elvis “MaEli” Mathe called on fans to come for a memorable moment.
“Greetings to you all. This is Elvis from Insimbi Zezhwane. Today we invite you all to Palace Hotel to come and witness our performance as we will unpack songs from our latest album,” said MaEli.
Palace Hotel proprietor Tapiwa “Gandz” Gandiwa said they created shows for the month of April to show the power of the Zimbabwean music industry.
“This month we have set strategies to ensure our entertainment industry goes forward. A lot of our own artistes are flourishing abroad and it’s time we gave them the platform to cement their brands in the roots they come from.
“As ZITF nears, people should expect the best tourism market the city has ever had,” said Gandiwa.
