ONE of Zimbabwe’s most successful dancehall artistes Energy Chizanga, alias Freeman was charmed by the reception he received from fans during his maiden tour to the United States.

Freeman performed recently at the Zim Cultural and Music Festival in Dallas Texas, at an event sponsored by Xcelerate Enterprises owner Bevan Makaka.

Other local artistes who performed in Dallas at the two-day festival on March 28 were Trevor Dongo, Tariro Gezi and Julian King.

Freeman told NewsDay Life & Style that apart from inspiring him to produce more music, the tour boosted his career by exposing him to new fans, networks and performance opportunities.

“My recent tour to Dallas was an incredible experience. Performing in the US for the first time was a dream come true,” he said.

“The audience was great and I felt humbled by their warm welcome. The energy and enthusiasm were tangible.

“I loved seeing people from different backgrounds enjoying my music together. It showed me the power of music to bring people together.”
