Get ready to dance, Harare —Diamond Musicais bringing the heat to this year’sJacaranda Music Festival, promising an electrifying performance that fans won’t forget. The veteran rhumba kings, known for their hypnotic guitar riffs, infectious beats, and iconic stage moves, will be taking over the Thorn Park Polo Grounds on Saturday, October 4, in what’s being hyped as one of the festival’s most explosive sets. “Zimbabwean rhumba fans are starving,” said frontman Pitshou Lumiere, in his trademark swagger.
“This Saturday, we’re going to give them fireworks — the kind of high-energy show that only Diamond Musica can deliver.” Famous for hits like “Motema”, “Sina Makosa” and “Amaule (Dis Is Good)”, the group has built a cult following over the years. And if their past shows are anything to go by, expect non-stop dancing, crowd sing-alongs, and a wave of nostalgia mixed with fresh flair. ButDiamond Musicais just one part of the Jacaranda experience.
Running from October 3 to 5, the 2025 edition of the festival is bigger, louder, and more inclusive than ever — ditching the VIP section to create a fully immersive vibe for everyone.
