What seemed like a false start to The Vic Falls Carnival ended up being something epic, as Master KG brought flames to the main stage.
DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small and Sha Sha were the main drawcard on day one of the event, but they failed to show up, with organisers blaming “travel hiccups”.
As word spread that the trio would not be showing up, the mood was a bit low at the beginning of the show, but performers who came on stage did a good job to bring the carnival crowd back to life.
While the opening acts had to perform to a paltry crowd as people were still trickling in, they managed to put on a show, with Bulawayo outfit Ngoma Ingoma setting the pace.
With the stage heated up, Botswana’s Khoisan did not disappoint and kept the groove.
The group’s captivating performance and their connection with the crowd really amped up the atmosphere.
The crowd even bunched up for some synchronised dance routines, which led to the band jumping off the stage to join in.
By the time Master KG came on stage, the vibe was just right and the superstar did not disappoint as he literally turned the event into a movie.
The artiste dug deep into his hit list, which kept the crowd on their toes, singing along and dancing throughout the set.
His long-time collaborator, Zanda Zakuza, came to join him, with the songstress adding fuel to the fire.
“Chibaba icho!” commented one fan who was impressed by the performance.
In an interview after his performance, Master KG said Zimbabwe was a beautiful country with a fan base that always shows him love.
The artiste recently performed in Bulawayo at the Independence Day Celebrations.
“I haven’t been in Zimbabwe since 2018 when I was still starting out and now a few years later I am having back-to-back shows here.
“It’s a beautiful country, and the people here show love and support the music. This is like my second home now and I wish I could stay longer.”
Zanda Zakuza said it was always amazing working with Master KG.
“Every time we pull up, it’s a good vibe and it’s a pleasure working with Master KG. We all know what he has done; he is amazing to say the very least,” she said.
Meanwhile, there has not been an update on the DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small and Sha Sha situation.
