Musicians Tryson Chimbetu, Leornard Zhakata, Daiton Somanje, Diana Samkange and King Shady performed before a handful of a crowd that braved the chilly night.
Samkange took to the stage first and she left the crowds convinced that she is a force to reckon in the mbira arena. Songs from her latest offering Kumazivandadzoka proved to be popular.
However, it was a bad day for Somanje who almost dampened the event with his act.
The Tsaona hitmaker failed to play his yesteryear hits as requested by the crowd.
Fans were also looking forward to see him performing with his brother Josphat prior to the organisers’ announcement that the two would share the stage.
King Shady came after Somanje and the urban groover stole the limelight, entertaining many youths who constituted a large number of the crowd.
