Busi, a founding member of the super group Ilanga will hit the stage showcasing her very best in music and dance.
The ‘True Love’ singer will delight online audiences with her magical voice that rocked the airwaves back in the 1990s when she fronted Ilanga the group that had the talents of Don Gumbo, Andy Brown and great producer Keith Farqhaurson.

This extravaganza will be live on ZBC TV, ZTN Facebook page, and NAMAtv Youtube Page for the whole world to witness the brilliance of Zimbabwean artistry with more platforms to be announced soon.
