Two Zimbabwean musicians, Simbarashe Anziva Tagwireyi, popularly known as Simba Tagz, and disc jockey Ray Dizz are set to perform at the inaugural African Music Concert scheduled to take place on November 21 at the Expo Centre in Nasrec, Johannesburg. The two talented musicians will share the stage with the continent’s biggest acts such as, Davido, WizKid, Cassper Nyovest, AKA, Bucie, Burna Boy, Uhuru and Roberto among others. Simba Tagz and DJ RayDizz have worked together for a long time.
The African Music Concert is the culmination of a joint effort between South Africa’s The VAS Company (TVC) and Nigeria’s Mcomm Solutions and Services Limited. The event was put together to showcase Africa’s best young performing artists.
Simba Tagz said was happy to take part at this initiative as it will also boost his career.
“It is an honour that the organisers of this massive event considered me to perform at the African Music Concert. I look forward to representing my country and delivering a solid set on stage. I also look forward to performing for my Zimbabwean fans who live in Johannesburg” he said.
Earlier this year the duo collaborated in the high energy track dubbed “Party”, whose remix video features scenes from a tour that was held in Las Vegas, United States.
According to their spokesperson Phil Chard, “The video took us about six months to complete. We started collecting footage in June last year up until New Year’s Eve then we collated all we had and built the storyboard around that, using the footage we captured in Las Vegas as the anchor,” he said.
Last year DJ Ray Dizz won the Miller Soundclash competition walking away with a trip to perform in Las Vegas. He came out winner in the competition after defeating some of most talented disk jockeys to the coveted prize.
The competition consisted of three stages where the DJs had to submit a 10-minute mix that incorporated EDM, Afro House, Hip-Hop, RnB and Zimdancehall. After winning Ray Dizz said it was his passion to fly the Zimbabwean flag high and share his vision with the world. “I am elated to have won and I look forward to representing Zimbabwe in Las Vegas. Hopefully this will be just one of many accolades that I will achieve in my career,” he said.
About the upcoming SA tour, Ray Dizz said he will do his best to show fans that he has the talent to thrill on turntables.
