Zimbabwe Jazz Festival 2025 lights up Byo

THE Zimbabwe Jazz Community Trust (ZJCT) and Alliance Française in Zimbabwe thrilled the city of Bulawayo in an eventful Zimbabwe Jazz Festival 2025 over the weekend.

Last Friday at Alliance Française de Bulawayo, the festival’s eighth edition in the capital and fourth in Bulawayo kicked off with the right tone as The Frank Salis Experience, a dynamic cross-continental ensemble led by Swiss composer Frank Salis took to the
stage.

It was a special moment for Bulawayo’s own “Afro-jazz adventure” Dudu Manhenga, who delivered a world-class performance, joined by Nobuntu’s lead vocalist and her sister, Zanele Manhenga, to add to the ambience.
