MUSIC fans have named Zimdancehall musician Jnr Spragga, Atenda Chinx and rapper Holy Ten among the local artists they would like to see sharing the stage with international performers at Ama2k Fest.
Their reaction followed a question posed by Ama2k Fest organisers, asking music lovers to choose one male and one female local artist they would want to perform alongside international acts at the festival.
The discussion reflects the diversity of Zimbabwe’s music scene, with artists from Zimdancehall and hip-hop attracting attention among the fans.
Jnr Spragga emerged as one of the favourites among the fans, reflecting his growing presence on the local entertainment scene.
The Zimdancehall musician has been attracting attention through his music and public appearances, with fans highlighting his appeal among young music lovers.
For some fans, his energetic approach to music makes him a suitable candidate for a major stage where he will share the spotlight with international stars.
One fan, Ruva Nyama said Jnr Spragga has the ability to connect with a young audience.
“Jnr Spragga has the energy and the music that can connect with people. I would definitely choose him for that stage,” she said.
Atenda Chinx was also among the names brought into the discussion.
Fans expressed interest in seeing more local artists receiving opportunities to perform before bigger audiences.
Anashe Chamboko said Atenda Chinx deserves consideration.
“Atenda Chinx is one of the artists I would want to see getting that opportunity. We need to support our own musicians,” Anashe said.
Meanwhile, Holy Ten was another popular name in the conversation, with fans putting forward the hip-hop musician as their preferred choice for the male slot.
Holy Ten has established himself as a recognisable voice in Zimbabwean hip-hop, attracting listeners through his music and lyrical style.
His fans believe his inclusion will bring a different sound to a festival featuring international performers.
Panashe Ruzande said Holy Ten would appeal to music lovers who enjoy hip-hop.
“Holy Ten would be my choice because of his music and the following he has built.
“It would be interesting to see him on the same stage with international artists,” said Panashe.
Ama2k Fest is set for December 12, this year, with the event billed as the second edition of the festival.
For musicians such as Jnr Spragga, Atenda Chinx and Holy Ten, the discussion offers another indication of the interest surrounding local talent.
The eventual selection of local performers, however, remains to be confirmed.
