The Plumtree-based group represented Zimbabwe at the Africa Day festival in Johannesburg, South Africa and the MTN Bushfire Festival in Swaziland.
Tanga Pasi travelled to the two countries to take part in the high profile regional festivals and have returned home with nothing but smiles on their faces for having earned such an opportunity to showcase what they described as their best performance outside Zimbabwe.
“It was really exciting and encouraging to perform at the festivals and the audiences were extremely welcoming and larger than we usually attract in Zimbabwe,” said band member, Pamela Ngwenya.
“We are so excited because we received overwhelming support and positive feedback. People really enjoyed it and there were lots of compliments posted on our Facebook page following the shows,” said Ngwenya.
