Organisers and advance teams of JamAfro Festival scheduled for Alexandra Sports Club on April 2 have arrived in Harare.
The United Kingdom-based show promoters led by one Mhofu “Negos” Negombwe and also Neelah’s management from Jamaica are already in Harare to prepare for the bash.
According to Negos, the festival will be complete with state-of-the art sound and lighting and a grand stage.
“We have actually brought some of the latest equipment for the gig and also Dwayne who is Neelah’s manager is already here in Harare to ensure that the sound is on point,” he said.
He also encouraged fans to book their tickets in advance to avoid last minute rush at the gates.
“The unfortunate part is we as promoters have to introduce these international standards one at a time because the world over tickets are booked in advance. And the other thing we don’t have concert venues in the country, this is why we had to opt for the Alex Sports Club, which is an open air venue,” Negos said.
Featured at the festival is a mixed bag — from Rhumba, Dendera, Amapiano to Afro Soul, and Zim dancehall all on one stage.
On the bill are South African singer Makhadzi who is back by public demand.
Makhadzi is known for high energy performances on stage and is expected to share the stage with a host of other Zimbabwean heavy hitters among them South Africa-based Zimbabwean star Mr Brown, Freeman, Nutty O, Suluman Chimbetu, Neelah, ExQ, Feli Nandi and Juntal.
Also expected are several collaborations between Makhadzi, Nutty O and Mr Brown and also another one Freeman and Neelah from Jamaica.
All the new songs will be sampled at the festival.
The must-attend festival will be hosted by Etherton Beenie, comedienne Mai TT and Bango.
Added to this will be DJS on decks the likes of Pee Stylez, Eve, Tearz, Jerry Springer, Digital T, Westwood as well as Selekta Base.
For those who want to enjoy themselves will have to book VIP tickets which come with a bottle of Moet at least according to information doing the rounds on social media.
Admission to the show is US$15 for general ticket, US$30 for VIP and US$50 for VVIP tickets.
