THE long awaited UK Southern Africa Summer Arts Festival (SAMA) featuring Zimbabwean superstar duo of Oliver ‘Tuku’ Mtukudzi, Tocky Vibes and Jah Prayzah took off with a bang at the Royal Regency In London on Saturday.
On Saturday June 27 the festival moves to Leicester at the Maher Centre, 15 Ravensbridge Drive , LE4 OBZ.
Alex Marapara of Y2K the festival organisers said: “This year SAMA Festival UK will unleash a young talent whom the fans have been anxiously waiting for because he has been releasing hit after hit, tune after tune.
“We have also had to turn back the hands of time and dig deep into Y2K archives. We plucked out SAMA Festival UK 2007 and pull out Shingai Shoniwa & The Noisettes (then sitting at number 2 in British charts and rocking USA Billboard Charts) and Winky D.”
“The revellers will converge at the majestic, spacious and imposing Maher Centre, Leicester.
“Oliver Mtukudzi and The Black Spirits, Jah Prayzah and The 3rd Generation, Tocky Vibes, Zivai Guveya and Heritage Survival and Kinnah will be in the house.
“With that line up Leicester will be on full throttle and in any case it usually provides a state of agitation and excitement, simply fever pitch,” the organisers said.
Fans will get to hear tunes from Jah Prayzah`s recently launched his new ablbum titled Jerusalema, Tocky Vibes while launch his new album, Toti Toti while Kinnah will also present his new project, Chakatyokera.
Coventry will see the end of the festival on Sunday June 28 where a family show is scheduled. The venue for Coventry is the Sports Connexion.
