Amara Brown shines at Lion Lager Beer Fest

Andy’s offspring.
The gig was probably the acid test for Amara as she had never performed in front of such a huge crowd. With a bumper crowd of more than 20 000 people in high anticipation, Amara won the hearts of many with her polished act.
She chose her playlist wisely and to her credit, she managed to send the crowd into delirium and revellers could be heard saying: “Inga zvaanonotogona mwana wa Andy Brown. (Andy’s child is actually good).”
The diva thrilled the audience with renditions of her late father’s songs like “Tichangoshaina”, “Zindoga”, “Harare”, “Mawere Kongonya”, among others.
The 24-year-old Amara, who was making her maiden appearance at the beer festival, also impressed by showcasing her dancing skills. To many people, Amara is the young girl in a 1990s cooking oil advert in which she appears alongside legendary musician Oliver Mtukudzi with the band Oli and the Vines.
“I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to share the stage with international artistes like P-Square and I must say I am a big fan,” she said.
Amara also revealed her interests, which, apart from music, also include dancing.
“I am passionate about music and dance which have taken me to many places around the world. The more I travelled around the globe the more I discovered that Zimbabwean artistes like my father, had a lot to offer to the world,” she said.
Her control of the crowd was amazing while her vocal clarity was simply out of this world.
“My father might have passed on but his music legacy lives on and I am here to keep the fire burning,” she said.
