Youthful band creates new music style

Young and talented six-member band Savannah Afros has planned a series of gigs in Harare for young talented youths to ensure that upcoming musicians share resources and ideas on various platforms.

The band, which started their own music genre called the Zimbo Groove Style, a fusion of Afro-jazz and Zimbabwe traditional music, said it would mainly encourage youths to promote their culture by producing songs with an African feel and sound.

“Our aim is not just to gather youths around but to encourage them to sing songs that promote African tradition and use African instruments as well, instead of trying to imitate American or British artistes’ style,” said group representative Tapuwanashe Munyayi.
