Local, continental artistes glow up Alliance Française’s Friyay excursions

ALLIANCE Francaise de Harare’s cultural excursions that occasionally feature local and continental artistes through its Friyay monthly music showcase have become a celebration of the diverse yet interconnected musical traditions across Africa.

This was witnessed on November 15 when the cultural centre hosted an unforgettable evening as three extraordinary artistes Marsi Essomba from Cameroon, jazz prodigy Josh Meck, vocalist and guitarist Tariro Negitare united to celebrate the diversity of African sound and the richness of Bantu culture.

In attendance was the new France ambassador to Zimbabwe, Paul-Bertrand Barets, European Union ambassador to Zimbabwe Jobst von Kirchmann, Alliance Francaise Harare director Fanny Gauthier and Zimbabwe Music Rights Association chairperson Albert Nyathi, among other guests.
