The last two months have seen the group making polished acts every two weeks at the Mutare joint.
The group’s leader, Pitshou Lumiere, told NewsDay that they were overwhelmed by the positive response from Mutare fans.
“Mutare is like our home because the people there really enjoy rhumba music. Last Friday we performed there and it was a full house. We want to give them non-stop rhumba music from Diamond Musica,” he said.
Lumiere said the famous rhumba group was determined to keep the genre alive and serve Mutare’s die-hard rhumba fans that follow their live shows.
The fans in Mutare have been introduced to new enthralling dance moves in the group’s repertoire of dances, including the Dollar and Presidential Motorbike dances.
