AN appetite for innovation keeps stalking the arts industry with Jah Prayzah jerking into the fray by springing the launch of his latest album, Maita Baba, in the City of Kings.
Maita Baba will this Saturday be unleashed to the public at Queens Sports Club.
The club has played host to headline gigs in the past.
The Maita Baba album launch comes under heavy public opinion in a comparison to the Bulawayo Shutdown which brought the curtain down at ZITF 2023.
The cast for this potentially explosive album launch includes figures in the city’s music space, the evergreen Dj Tira, Dj Mzoe, Iyasa and Mzoe 7.
These acts always reserve a whetting dish each time they are pitted on stage.
Mukudzei Mukombe, itself a prophetic name, will turn the page by plucking his show from the usual Harare venues to a spot far from the capital.
A music promoter, who preferred anonymity, gave a thumbs-up to the upcoming show.
“That all his other album launches were staged in the capital was a trend footed in a straight jacket approach to music marketing business.
“Virgin, rich and expectant markets exist in new forays that set a refreshing tone to the sound on offer and a bright spark of an all-time presence in memory.”
Back then, the crooner took Sendekera to Bulawayo after touching down south in the wake of a road show which remains an outstanding concept.
This time, the bomb explodes in the home of the arts, koBulawayo.
Literally, music fans troop to get blown away by the sound that Mukombe brewed.
Gateway Stream is fast becoming a music industry player of note since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic bio-bubble performances.
The tech-savvy institution is growing feathers by supporting and widening the horizon in arts and tourism.
Partnering JP on his outpost album launch demonstrates the hospitality offshoot’s innovative initiatives meant to broaden opportunities and products available to enjoy.
Tickets for the mega launch are available at Bulawayo Rainbow Hotel, Booties Pharmacies and Kings Pharmacy.
