adminMtukudzi and Chiwoniso Maraire, also known as the “rebel woman”, have return air tickets courtesy of the sponsors Ethiopian Airlines, Hardcore World Entertainment and the artistes.
Tawanda Chingarah yesterday confirmed the raffle draw saying both Mtukudzi and Chiwoniso would take turns to conduct the draw.
“The festive season is around the corner and the best way to welcome the season is to reward our supporters in a big way. The artistes are excited about it and may the lucky fan win a ticket,” he said.
The show will see fans parting with US$30 and US$40 for the front seats. Chiwoniso, who is lovingly called Chi by her fans, is an amazingly talented diva whose latest album “Rebel Women” is a favourite of many.
Between them, Tuku and Chi have over 40 years of experience and they know how to treat their audiences whether its up-tempo or sing along tunes, they have it all.
Chi has the freedom to explore every corner of her musical being, from pure mbira magic with long-time acoustic ensemble Vibe Culture, to new electric fusions with rock, blues, and a rainbow of genres, in collaboration with various artists. She exudes cool confidence and high energy whenever she takes to the stage.
She is by no means a newcomer to international stage, having performed during the Harare International Festival of the Arts opening nights on a number of occasions and her overseas tours,
The “VIP Concert” marks another chapter in her music career as she shares the stage with Tuku, who only a few years back had introduced his late son Sam at the same venue.
For him, it will be more or less like re-introducing Chi as her own daughter in music, so to speak.
At 59, Tuku who is also referred to as the granddad of music, has much to offer in terms of music.
With 59 albums to his credit, Tuku has collaborated with several musicians and each performance has its own unique style and spark.
