Bulawayo-based upcoming musicians, Kadder, Nashie, Mac and kwaito group, 3 Kings will also go on stage.
“Performances will be held at the gallery courtyard and the car park,” Nleya said.
“People in Bulawayo should come out and see the youngest and freshest world music festival in the southern region,” he said.
He said they deliberately chose to hold the festival in April as this would coincide with the annual Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF).
“We normally have a lot of people coming to Bulawayo during ZITF and hence we have decided to ensure that their entertainment needs are well catered for,” Nleya said.
