Gwevedzi Afro Acoustics Band was formed in 2016 in Harare. The main focus of this band was to utilize and to create a sound that captures both the young and the old, at home in Zimbabwe and the rest of the globe regardless of religion, color, nationality, and social status.
The quest of the band is to also harmonize the people of the world through music. Gwevedzi is a Shona name given to a suitor in a courtship between a young lady and a young man to strengthen the love between the two. Their first performance at Theatre in the Park was done in October 2021. The band consists of four members; Tinashe Masangudza guitar, Wilfred Nikisi bass, Nyasha Murada lead/vocals/mbira, and Keith Musena on the drums. They will be supported by Klara Wojtkowska with her violin.
The spokesperson for the band Nyasha Murada confirmed that the band is ready for the show. Rooftop Promotions producer Daves Guzha says that the Jazz and Soul Friday Night is a musical platform introduced to promote local musical artists for them to earn from their works mostly during this global Covid-19 pandemic era.
This month, Theatre in the Park will be proudly hosting Kae Chaps of the ‘Juzi’ fame next week on the 18th and Baba Harare will be coming on the 25th. The venue boasts having hosted a star-studded lineup of performers including Alick Macheso, Hope Masike, Victor Kunonga, and Feli Nandi this year.
