MATABELELAND South province is set to be an entertainment hub this weekend as musicians, Oriyano and Winky D, will perform in Gwanda and Beitbridge.
The tour will start on Friday at Phoenix Tshisanyama where locals Zhezhingtonz and Kay_Kid Umfanomsotho will warm up the stage.
The hosts of the night will be MC Freddy K, Rich Flavour and MC Kay One.
The following day, Oriyano meets his Beitbridge fans for the first time where the event will be held at Pagomba Cafe.
Winky D, Bhadilah, MC Edutainer, MC Kay One, DJ Vic Gee and DJ Keitho will also be part of the stellar lineup to entertain revellers.
Event organiser DJ Keitho said this year they will be “listening” promoters who avail services of what their clientelle want.
“Pairing Winky D with Oriyano, who has recently burst onto the music scene and is currently making waves, is a great combination. The blend of Winky Dee’s experience and Oriyano’s fresh energy will undoubtedly create an electrifying atmosphere that will leave the audience in awe,” said DJ Keitho.
He said the show is set to boost local tourism in the capital of the province.
“The main agenda for the show is to bring economic growth and exposure to our beautilful town of Gwanda. By hosting big artists, who are currently making waves in the music scene, we’re expecting to attract crowds from out of town who will specifically come for the show. This influx of visitors will undoubtedly boost our local businesses, creating a positive economic impact.
“Moreover, this event provides a unique opportunity for the people of Gwanda to experience live performances by renowned artists, rather than just watching them on TV or traveling to other towns,” he said.
