Staff Writer

Guitar virtuoso Louis Mhlanga touched down in Bulawayo today ahead of scheduled concert as part of the Moving Jazz Café.

Mhlanga is reuniting with legendary drummer Sam Mataure for the concert after more than a decade.

The much-loved concept, which aims to bring intimate, high-quality jazz experiences to audiences across Zimbabwe, is presented by Jazz 105 Promotions, led by Josh Hozheri and Mataure himself.

This year’s edition promises a musical experience that goes beyond the ordinary.

“We’re not chasing big crowds,” Mataure explained. “We’re chasing energy, connection, and a pure jazz vibe — something real jazz fans will appreciate.”

According to Mataure, the band arrived in Bulawayo on Thursday afternoon and settled in well.

“We are ready for tonight’s gig but we woke to some cold weathe! (Friday),” he said.

The tour kicks off in Bulawayo this Friday, which also happens to be Mataure’s birthday, and moves to Harare on Saturday August 9, offering fans in both cities a rare chance to experience this jazz dream team up close.
