City Sports Bar TRYSON Chimbetu looks like he is in a bid to revive his waning fortunes. Poor management and bad behaviour have left the young musician down as he has been relegated to the doldrums in terms of the inevitable fierce competition in the Chimbetu family. Yet it is the stage that normally redeems one and on Sunday he is granted a chance to do just that.
Long Cheng Plaza
It’s the Look East Policy affair for the University of Zimbabwe SRC that hosts a cocktail of dancehall musicians at Long Cheng Plaza tonight. The event will also be a welcome bash for first-year students that have enrolled at the institution of higher learning.
Artistes expected to perform at the event include Ricky Fire, Shinsoman, Trevor D, Junior Brown, Skatta Watta, Icey, J Boss, Mafia 19, and Mighty Ducks.
Super Label
Long-forgotten dancehall musician Badman returns from South Africa where he has been holed up for several years. The artiste, who used to be the only credible competition for Ninja President Winky D, is launching his comeback album Champion Talk at an event that will also be graced by the explosive Lady Squanda among others. For dancehall, the venue is tried and tested while the artiste should be on top of the game to cause an upset on the cut-throat Zimbabwean scene.
Las Vegas
Sulumani Chimbetu, who returned from the United Kingdom this week, performs at Las Vegas in Southerton tonight.
