HARARE — It is only a day to go before Winky D takes the stage at Alex Sports Club for the much-anticipated Tete-A-Tete Concert Season 2, and the slogan “Pamberi neGafa” is already sending music fans into a frenzy.
The phrase, lifted from his hit track One Big Party off the EP of the same name, is a clever play on the familiar Zanu PF rallying cry “Pamberi neZanu PF” — meaning “Forward with Zanu PF.” But in this context, Winky D has flipped it to declare “Forward with Gafa,” referencing his own nickname.
And the Gafa’s legion of fans have embraced it wholeheartedly.
20 Years and Counting
In the buildup to Saturday’s show, Winky D has been dropping promo videos that have only heightened the anticipation. In one clip, the dancehall king hinted at passing the torch to the next generation, having spent two decades dominating the Zimbabwean music scene.
It is a moment of reflection for the man who has become synonymous with Zim dancehall, but if the teasers are anything to go by, he is not going out without a bang.
A Stacked Lineup
The concert boasts a lineup that reads like a who’s who of Zimbabwe’s urban music scene. Headliners include Nisha Ts, Enzo Ishall, Xiba, Jnr Spragga — arguably the man of the moment with his viral hit Daka — Runna Rulez, Hulengende, and Culture Love.
But the real talking point is the face-off between Hulengende and Jnr Spragga, both protégés of the late, great Soul Jah Love.
The two have been locked in a musical “beef” over who deserves the crown as Soul Jah Love‘s heir apparent.
The debate has dominated street conversations, and on Saturday, they will share the same stage for what promises to be a battle for bragging rights.
Whoever wows the crowd the most is likely to walk away with the crown — and the streets will be watching.
More Than an Average Concert
This is not your average concert. Every artist on the lineup wants to shine, own the stage, and leave an indelible mark. With such high stakes, the energy is expected to be electric.
Popular radio personalities KVG and Merciless Zim of Power FM will serve as emcees, keeping the crowd pumped and the vibes flowing.
A Night to Remember
Organised by Chipaz Promotions and Harris Entertainment, the Tete-A-Tete Concert Season 2 is shaping up to be one of the highlights of Harare’s social calendar.
Saturday night at Alex Sports Club is where the action is. Don’t you dare miss it.
