Kawadza said the show will mark the beginning of summer and she was expecting a bumper crowd.

“Winter is usually slow in business because people really don’t want to go out, but instead prefer to stay indoors and this will be a gig that marks the beginning of summer,” she said.

Kawadza said she took her work seriously and encouraged women in music to be mindful of the contracts they signed and ensure they earn something significant from their works.

“I’m pleased to see female musicians who are composers and going on to have very good careers, making special reference to Tariro neGitare, Hope Masike, Chashe, Diana Samkange, Cindy Munyavi, Edith WeUtonga, Prudence Katomeni,” she said.

Kawadza is currently in the studio working on some singles which are going to be released before the end of the year while her album is set for release next year.

She expressed gratitude to fellow Jazz musician Filbert Marowa who introduced her to the music of greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra George Benson and Sarah Vaughan, who inspired her to take up Jazz.
