AWARD-WINNING South African Afro-soul sensation Amanda Black headlines the second edition of Zimbabwe’s premier luxury lifestyle gathering, The Sunday Service themed Winter Solstice Picnic and Sundowners set for Sunday at The Art Farm in Harare.
Born Amanda Benedicta Antony in the Eastern Cape, the Mzansi songbird is a platinum-selling singer whose emotionally-charged performances and powerful vocals have earned her a loyal following across Africa.
At the concert, Amanda Black will share the stage with a multi-generational line-up of performers who include veteran jazz crooner Tanga Wekwa Sando, renowned for his timeless township jazz and groove.
They will be joined by acclaimed guitarist Sylent Nqo, talented vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Tina Watyoka, premium vibes curators DJ Andile and the Royal DJs.
Following a successful debut, the event organisers said the second edition of the Winter Solstice was set to raise the bar, as a unique blend of soulful music, fashion, outdoor culture and family-friendly entertainment.
“The Sunday Service is more than an event, it is a curated lifestyle ritual. With the Winter Solstice edition, we are leaning into rich, cosy, premium aesthetics and music that hits deep in the soul,” noted the event organisers.
The organisers noted that this edition has been carefully curated to create a sanctuary of soulful sounds, meaningful connections, and premium outdoor experiences for discerning audiences seeking more than just a music show.
“Bringing together legends like Tanga Wekwa Sando and contemporary giants like Amanda Black at a gorgeous venue like The Art Farm creates a completely unique canvas for Harare’s elite to connect, dress up and celebrate life.”
