Artists descend on Bindura

THE country’s finest artists across all genres from mbira, sungura, rhumba and afro fusion descended
on Bindura for the annual Bindura Arts Festival, running under the theme, “Arts and Culture in
Action”.

Mukudzei Mukombe, whose stage name is Jah Prayzah, Freeman, Holly Ten, and Carlos Green
among others were the headline acts at the Bindura Country Club on Friday.
Bindura Arts Festival Foundation founder, Umtali Saidi, said this year’s event was supported by the
Culture Fund Trust of Zimbabwe through the creative actions and initiative funding by the European
Union and has also partnered with Chipaz Promotion.

“The Bindura Arts Festival is the biggest event in the province. We had a talent-searching mission,
where we went to marginalised areas in the province to unearth, capacitate and magnify hidden
talent through workshops and talent shows. The two winners who came out from each province
were assisted to record at NashTV.

The event attracted thousands of people from all walks of life in Mashonaland Central and
Zimbabwe to come and support this year's event.

Apart from the star-studded cast of popular artists there were also two winners from Mbire and
Shamva, who had an opportunity to showcase their talent.

The show is the biggest to be staged in the province this year and the first one pitting music
sensations of the moment.
