Award-winning musician Hwabaraty is set to make his debut live performance in the United Kingdom, where he will headline the Isintu Fest UK, scheduled for July 19 in Birmingham under the theme “Isintu Emuntwini”.
In an interview with Zimpapers Arts and Entertainment Hub, Hwabaraty said he is excited to take his culturally rich and energetic performance to the UK audience.
“Isintu Fest is more than a performance, it’s a cultural reconnection. I’m taking the spirit of home to the global stage, and I can’t wait to share that energy with the UK audience,” he said.
The performance marks a major milestone in the Bulawayo-based artiste’s career.
“This being my first UK show is a blessing. Above all, I feel the world is my stage. The support and appreciation I’m receiving internationally is overwhelming,” he said.
“I was patient for so many years, and now the fruits are starting to show. This gives me the drive to keep working hard and to represent Zimbabwe on international stages.”
A dynamic voice from Bulawayo, Hwabaraty is known for his ability to fuse traditional Southern African rhythms with modern musical elements, creating powerful stories rooted in culture, identity, and resistance.
His work, including standout pieces like Jeremani, reflects deep cultural roots through music, dance, and storytelling, while also connecting with global audiences.
With his captivating stage presence and genre-blending style, Hwabaraty continues to rise as both a cultural ambassador and advocate for social justice through the arts. – @mthabisi_mthire
