It was a space filled with innumerable opportunities for networking, collaboration and finding one’s feet and voice as a young artist I feel it is a critical space that offers development of a artist before they hit the big stages It thrills me to be able to open up possibilities for growth and nurture talent that will one day be big and gracing other different platforms.”
This year, Harare Open Mic has once again partnered with The Garden, One Billion Rising and over thirty two artists who are coming through to perform on the day Art forms represented include music, comedy, poetry, dance and theatre
Billed to perform are young and promising poets such as Tadana Nakai, Yvonne Matanhire These will be supported by more seasoned poets such as Shingirai Manyengavana, Takudzwa Goniwa, Khadijah Finesse, Tamika, Momo Size and Tawanda Vombo Young and rising mbira player Aripheleng Kwela is expected to thrill the audience with her powerful voice along side hip-hop star D-Blok, AneUnhu Gwatidzo, Tendai Mhlanga, Nicole Livet, The Breeze and many more young voices coming through to perform at Harare Open Mic for the first time “Harare Open Mic offers an easy laid back family outing
If you have a child, friend or just someone you know who may benefit from being in this space, bring them along, they may learn a thing or two and be inspired to explore more of their talent,” said Chigama
