SUNGURA maestro Alick Macheso will lead a stellar cast of local artists from different genres who are billed to perform at the SAMA Festival in Leicester, England, in April.
The festival will be held between April 19-20 as the United Kingdom welcomes the arrival of summer.
The SAMA Festival is organised by Y2K Entertainment Promotions.
There will be performances from Mambo Dhuterere, Selmor Mtukudzi, Voltz JT, Silent Killer, Blot, Nisha T, DJ Sab and Fatha Ansy.
All artists will perform on the first day and only Silent Killer, Nisha T, Blot and Voltz JT will perform on the final day.
Macheso promised his UK fans another memorable show.
“Ayaayaa Ayaayaaa, umm zvatanga zvinhu zviye, chishuwo chiye chaakuzopera, haa nguva yange yareba mufungeee hezvookoo.
“We are on our way to the UK to the fans, we say be ready for the best,” said Macheso on his Facebook page.
The organisers said:
“Don’t miss out on the biggest event of the year. Let’s make history together. Get ready for an unforgettable celebration of music, culture and energy.”
Meanwhile, hip-hop sensation Takura has teased his fans with snippets of his upcoming singles on social media.
The samples, ranging from 15-second to 1-minute clips, have been making waves on TikTok and Instagram Reels, with many fans praising Takura’s creativity and talent.
In an interview with H-Metro, Takura revealed that he is intentionally holding back the full tracks to build anticipation and create a buzz around his upcoming releases.
“I want my fans to be excited about my music and I believe that by teasing them with samples, I can create a sense of urgency and anticipation.
“Trust me, the wait will be worth it,” he said.
However, the lack of a full release has left followers begging for more.
“I’ve been listening to the same 15-second clip for days and I’m dying to hear the rest of the song.
“Takura, please release the music,” said one fan.
Another fan said:
“Touya kumba kwako kuzoba drive rine masongs here? Nekuti I am smelling good music apa. Mukuru makunonoka nemaBanger edu.”
