Considered one of the biggest jazz music exports from Africa, Mazuze is currently based in Norway and will, during the ongoing concert tour meant to market his new album Ubuntu, collaborate with the Zimbabwean mbira princess.
Mazuze expressed excitement over his Zimbabwean debut on social networks.
“The tour is awesome. After my night out in Johannesburg this Friday, I am truly breathing a great musical journey in Harare where Jazz meets Jazz live in concert and play alongside one of Zimbabwe’s finest musicians @Hope Masike,” he said on Twitter.
Masike told NewsDay that she envisioned a music blend never witnessed before.
