Harare will witness a bold celebration of women in music as the Nubian Notes Concert takes centre stage at the Harare International Convention Centre this Saturday, 8 November 2025.
Organised by Gateway Stream Media, a subsidiary of Rainbow Tourism Group, in collaboration with ZAR Events, NUBIAN NOTES is set to make history as Zimbabwe’s biggest all-female music celebration under the theme “Mambokadzi – The Rise of Her Sound.”
The concert will feature powerhouse performances from Feli Nandi, Gemma Griffiths, Tamy Moyo, Shashl, and Nisha Ts, in a night dedicated to honouring womanhood, creativity, and the vibrant spirit of Zimbabwean music.
The concert promises a vibrant mix of genres, dynamic performances, and a powerful representation of female artistry. Nubian Notes has been prepared as more than a concert; it is a strong message of inclusion, artistic freedom, unity, and recognition of women who continue shaping Zimbabwe’s music scene.
Gateway Stream Manager Elton Kurima confirmed in an interview ahead of the show that everything is in place.
“The production is polished, the artists are geared up, and anticipation continues to build as the date gets closer. The team has worked tirelessly to deliver an outstanding production. The artists are fired up, and we are calling on fans to come out in full force and be part of this empowering experience,” said Kurima.
Founder of ZAR Events, Connie Mazani, emphasised the significance of finally bringing the vision to life.
“Nubian Notes is a movement that honours women’s creativity and strengths. It is here and we are ready! We are inviting every music lover to show up, celebrate with us, and witness history in the making,” she said.
“Our local queens of sound are ready to deliver unforgettable sets that highlight their unique voices, stage presence, and creative brilliance. From soulful vocalists to high-energy performers, this lineup has been designed to captivate fans from start to finish. Fans are encouraged to secure their place at Zimbabwe’s ultimate all-female musical celebration.”
