The inspirational Zimbabwean music superstar Oliver Mtukudzi, Congolese rhumba star Papa Wemba, South Africa’s Ray Phiri of Stimela and the iconic groove-masters Trompies will headline the sixth annual event.
The most highly sought-after Mafikizolo, Zahara and the Soil are all set to light up Buffalo City.
