Zimpapers Arts and Entertainment Hub
A VIBRANT arts hub in Mutoko is redefining the entertainment landscape while empowering both established and emerging musicians.
Danha Family Leisure Spot has rapidly become a household name, providing a platform not only for big-name artists like Freeman HKD, sungura maestro Alick Macheso, DJ Fantan and Levels but also for rising stars eager to carve out their place in Zimbabwe’s music scene.
By bridging the gap between rural audiences and mainstream entertainment, Danha is fostering a thriving music culture in Mutoko and beyond.
For seasoned musicians like Freeman HKD, the Danha Family Leisure offers more than just a stage but also an opportunity to connect with fans in areas often overlooked by major performers.
“Performing in rural areas like Mutoko is something I hold close to my heart.
“These shows allow me to connect with communities that don’t often get the chance to experience live performances up close and for me that’s powerful.
“Every time I travel to places like these I find myself embraced by so much genuine love and it inspires me to give even more to my craft.
“Being in these spaces also helps me grow. I try by all means to fit into every community I visit which is what I was taught growing up it’s within me.It sparks something deep in my creativity
The “Ngaibake” hitmaker added that such performances outside Harare connects him more with fans.
“Platforms like Dhana Family Leisure play a huge role in this. They are opening up access creating moments for fans in rural areas to experience music first-hand and for us as artists to meet the people who support us from afar.
“The reception is always warm and it reminds me that our fans, wherever they are, are truly our family we are one people.”
