Hit Factory was a HIT. 🔥

Arguably one of the best produced and most thoughtfully curated shows we’ve seen in our lifetime.

From the lineup to the stage production, performances and overall experience, everything felt intentional. This was an example of what Zimbabwean live entertainment can look and feel like when a vision is executed properly.

ZimHipHop 🤝 Zimdancehall.

Mako has returned with her latest offering, 'Rudo Ndinaye' , a heartfelt single that shifts the conversation around love from something we seek to something we already carry within ourselves.

Rather than presenting love as an external destination or something that must be borrowed from another person, 'Rudo Ndinaye' embraces a more personal and reflective message. The song reminds listeners that love exists in many forms and begins from within. It is about becoming love itself—allowing it to shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through life.

With its thoughtful lyricism and uplifting message, LCharisma explores the idea that rudo is not limited to romance. It is found in compassion, self-acceptance, family, friendship, community, and everyday acts of kindness. Rudo Ndinaye offers a refreshing perspective—one that celebrates love as a state of being rather than a distant pursuit. d naturally extends to those around us.

Wealth Official Announces Debut EP MR SHOW LOVE.

African music continues to thrive on collaboration and boundary pushing creativity, and Nigerian born, South Africa based artist Wealth Official is looking to make his mark with the release of his debut EP, MR SHOW LOVE.
Released on July 31, the seven track project serves as an introduction to an artist unafraid to draw from multiple musical influences while staying grounded in African storytelling.

Originally from Benin City, Nigeria, Wealth Official has spent 2026 steadily building momentum through a string of singles and visually engaging music videos. That journey now culminates in MR SHOW LOVE, a project that blends Afrobeats, hip-hop, rap, R&B, soul and even country-inspired elements into one cohesive listening experience.

Leading the EP is "Faded," a melodic and emotionally driven single that highlights Wealth Official's songwriting ability and introspective lyricism. The project also features South African rapper 031Baby, further strengthening the growing musical bridge between Nigeria and South Africa.

Across its seven tracks, MR SHOW LOVE explores relatable themes including love, ambition, relationships, resilience, personal growth and self-discovery. Rather than confining himself to one sound, Wealth Official shifts comfortably between infectious Afrobeats grooves, reflective R&B melodies and confident rap performances, creating a project that showcases both versatility and artistic identity.

For listeners looking to discover emerging talent making waves across the continent, MR SHOW LOVE offers a promising introduction to Wealth Official's musical journey. The EP is now available on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, YouTube Music, Deezer, Boomplay and Amazon Music.

First show of its kind: The Hit Factory brings Zimdancehall and ZimHipHop together for a historic night

HARARE – Zimbabwe's two biggest urban music movements are set to share one stage when The Hit Factory: Zimdancehall Meets Zimhiphop takes over the Hippodrome in Harare on Saturday, 8 August. The event promises an unforgettable celebration of the country's vibrant urban culture, bringing together the biggest hitmakers from both genres for one explosive night.

Representing the Zimdancehall side are some of the genre's most exciting names, including Hwinza, Jnr Spragga and Madedido among others. Affectionately known as 'Man of the Moment,' Hulengende was scheduled to be on the Zimdancehall lineup before cancelling his commitment at the eleventh hour, citing security concerns (we hope the event organisers are working on this). On the ZimHipHop side, fans can expect performances from Saintfloew, Bagga, Bling 4 and Runna Rulez.

While fans often debate which genre reigns supreme, Zimdancehall and ZimHipHop have always been two sides of the same coin.

Both were born from Zimbabwe's streets, giving young people a platform to tell authentic stories of everyday life, ambition, struggle and success.

Reliving MUSHA& as it set the tone for an immaculate Afro House experience with an electrifying debut

Zimbabwe's Afro electronic music scene reached another milestone on Saturday, 4 July, as MUSHA&—short for MUSHA and Friends—hosted its debut edition, delivering an unforgettable celebration of house music culture and community. It was the perfect, and intimate, gathering of house music aficionados revelling in the excellent, unparalleled vibes that electronic music has to offer on this planet.

Curated by acclaimed producer and DJ Tapiwa, the event brought together an exciting lineup of some of Zimbabwe's finest afro house music talents, including Pia, Tvwvndv, Jay, Maddawgs, Mimi, Tapiwa, Rorri, HALU!, and Young DLC. MUSHA& was a carefully curated experience that showcased the depth and diversity of Zimbabwe's Afro-house movement. The atmosphere was electric, adorned with an array of eclectic sounds from start to finish; with every set building on the last as dancers packed the floor well into the night.

One of the standout moments came when deep house enthusiast Mimi teamed up with supergirl Pia for a seamless back-to-back performance keeping the crowd locked in from beginning to end. It may sound cliche, but seeing the two ladies rock up the decks as they did was evidence of the power women possess when they simply team up. The synergy that they exuded was unmatched, and without a shred of doubt, that was one of the most profound highlights of the night. Worth reliving over and over!

Get ready for Unplugged Zimbabwe , with a stacked 29 August 2026 lineup headlined by Takura and Shona Prince

It's been a genuinely difficult stretch to ignore. Pariah arrived as an intensely personal project from an artist who has publicly battled mental health struggles and had, at different points, walked away from music entirely, and it was received as a necessary exhale rather than just another release. Pariah (Deluxe) followed with an even more intimate, therapy-session quality to it, opening with a monologue that framed the whole project as an invitation into vulnerability.

Then came this year's Vanilla EP, a tightly woven R&B project that closes the loop on a run widely regarded as the best full length body of work coming out of Zimbabwe over the past two to three years, with two standout albums in the space of twelve months alone. On stage, the improvement has been just as pronounced — his set at the inaugural Upenyu Festival was singled out as one of the best live performances around, a sharp turnaround for an artist who had previously faced criticism over his live performances. Headlining Unplugged on the back of that run feels very much earned.

Joining him is Tamy Moyo, and if there's one artist on this bill or any bill you go to specifically for the live experience, it's her. Simply put, when Tamy Moyo is on a lineup, you go.

Kim Makumbe is also on the bill, and calling her a superstar isn't a stretch. She made our list of the top 10 Zimbabwean artists to look out for in 2026, on the back of a run of music - from her 2022 breakout Baesty through to Ndendichitodawo and Undirote built on emotional tension, vulnerability and songwriting sharp enough to make even the messier feelings sound good. She's an artist whose ceiling keeps rising, and Unplugged gets her at a point where the rest of the country is only just starting to catch up.

EVENT REVIEW: Jah Prayzah delivers the ultimate live show ‘Xperience’ at Forest Farm

The Jah Prayzah Xperience at Forest Farm in the capital was exactly what its name promised. An immersive celebration of music, style and community, headlined by Zimbabwe's greatest showman at the peak of his powers.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Forest Farm, the venue proved to be the perfect canvas for the event's Bohemian Chic theme. Nestled among the trees, the setting felt intimate yet grand, with attendees embracing the dress code wholeheartedly. It was a spectacle of fashion, music and culture, with people arriving dressed to impress, adding another layer to an already beautiful atmosphere.

Probeatz and Fusion 5 got the afternoon underway even though l missed them. I got positive feedback from those that experienced them. I arrived just in time for Shaku Chante taking over the decks around 4pm. with a set that felt like it was pulled straight from the heart of the local scene. Walking in as she took over was to be greeted with a seamless blend of Takura's Vendor into Sunday by Mugaratia, a mix that had this Pemurai Dzose faithful thoroughly satisfied. She kept the local flavour running through Jnr Spragga, Exq's Nzenza, Nutty O's Pane Acharuza and Delroy Shewe's Fenze, setting a distinctly homegrown tone for the late afternoon before Mary Anibal went on stage.

Mary Anibal followed with a breathtaking vocal performance with some traditional dance in between, pouring every ounce of emotion into her set and reminding everyone why she is regarded as one of Zimbabwe's finest live vocalists.

Wowrae, a percussionist by trade, brought something different. House and amapiano built around his live percussion. It served as the perfect palate cleanser between a lineup of contemporary performances, adding a fresh dynamic to the evening while keeping the energy flowing.
