adminstage with Oliver Mtukudzi and Alexio Kawara in a show that is expected to appeal across the age divide.
Show organiser Joseph Habis said they expected Flavour (real name Chinedu Okoli) would be in the country on May 24 to an icon’s welcome.
Soon after arrival, he is expected to attend a high-octane welcome party that will feature some of Zimbabwe’s socialites and artistes.
Habis added that his team was still in the process of working an itinerary that will see the revered hip hop and soul artiste visit some art centres to familiarise himself with art activities in the country.
“His fans can’t wait to see Flavour on stage, judging by the enquiries we have been getting from people not only in Harare but all over the country,” he said.
Habis said most of the groundwork has been done ahead of the show that will spice up Africa Day Celebrations, adding that Tuku and Kawara had promised to set the bar high for the Nigerian musician. Kawara said he was raring to go and would give fans a good performance.
“I have shared the stage with foreign artistes before and my recent collaboration with Dutch group, Handsome Poets, was a confidence booster,” said Kawara.
“I always put maximum effort in my performances and I treat every show seriously. People will be expecting to see Flavour for the first time in Zimbabwe while they
will obviously enjoy Tuku’s performance, but they should be prepared for a few surprises from us. We are ready for the show.”
Flavour has had a number of hits in the last few years he has been in showbiz. But in Zimbabwe he is best remembered for the hit songs “Nxa Baby” (Sawale), “Nwata” (Skit) and Adanma.
