Olomide show not rhumba jaunt

ORGANISERS of the Koffi Olomide concert, Blaze Productions, have defended their decision to exclude local rhumba musicians from the show that is slated for August 3 at the Harare International Conference Centre, saying they wanted to bring variety to revellers.

This comes after complaints from rhumba music lovers who felt cheated without names like Juntal, Diamond Musica and BV Labien on the list of local acts set to share the stage with Olomide.

Sound Blaze Productions operations manager Calisto Murawo told NewsDay Life & Style that their selection was meant to also attract fans not necessarily sold out to Rhumba.
