Independence Galas game changer . . . have transformed my career: DT Bio Mudimba

BINGA born musician Day Tawanda Ncube, popularly known as DT Bio Mudimba, who is among the performers at the upcoming Independence Gala, has said the inclusive nature of national events has played a pivotal role in uplifting his career and expanding his reach.

The Kujata Jata hit maker, who has showcased his talent at more than 10 national events, said he remains grateful for the opportunity to perform on platforms that recognise and embrace talent from across the country.

“I’ll be ungrateful if I don’t thank the Government for including us at national events, because this has improved our fortunes. In my case, performing at national events has not only made me famous but has also expanded my network.

“My social capital has grown significantly as a result of that inclusion, making my work much easier these days. Everywhere I go, people now recognise my name. I’m glad that this visibility has been enhanced by performing at national events like the upcoming 46th Uhuru Gala in Maphisa,” said Mudimba.

Mudimba, who will perform alongside his Kaana Stars Band, said the platform presents a rare opportunity for both seasoned performers and emerging artistes to share the same stage, a dynamic that strengthens the country’s cultural fabric.

“We’re ready for the event in Maphisa, where we’re going to rub shoulders with yesteryear musicians and the new crop of stars. I last performed there in 2023 during one of the well-attended national events, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now that I’m making a comeback there on Independence Day, I can assure my fans of an electrifying show,” he said.

The Afro fusion artiste added that such inclusive platforms do more than celebrate music, as they also foster a strong sense of belonging among artistes and fans, uniting Zimbabweans through culture and shared identity.

“Independence is something special that we should all cherish as a nation. We need to bury our differences, if there are any, and come together to celebrate who we are as Zimbabweans.

I’ll be glad if we can all come together and celebrate in Maphisa. I also urge those who might not make it to Maphisa to follow proceedings online and on television as well, since it will be broadcast live,” he said.
