The band consists of Zimbabwe-born twins better known as Verbaleyes, and Native Wit and their childhood friend Klue, a New Zealander with Eritrean roots.

Bheki Mkwananzi (Native Wit) of True Vibenation said it was a great honour to perform at Hifa. “My brother and I were born in Harare, but have lived most of our lives in Australia so for us to be able to come back to the place it started through playing music is very special,” he said.

Native Wit added that they could not wait to get to Zimbabwe and share their music with everybody. Since recording their debut album The Sunshower Phenomenon, the group has become known for their vibrant live shows in which they prove themselves masters of many styles. Their music blends together hip hop, Afro-beat, jazz, dub step, soul, Latin and electronic music to create a unique but distinctly Australian sound.

The trio sets themselves apart from the mainstream hip-hop scene by incorporating instrumental music with traditional turntable beats. With self-made instruments and blowing the horns, they excite crowds with their infectious energy.

“We can’t wait for Harare to enjoy the amazing True Vibenation experience. They are a wonderful example of the strong ties between Zimbabwe and Australia and their live show is sure to wow the audience and get people moving,” said Ambassador Suzanne McCourt.
