When news broke about the cancellation of HIFA 2019, I was deeply saddened as a dedicated follower of arts and music festivals. It was hard to process the disappointment. While out on a stroll, I came across a poster with bold letters announcing the Jacaranda Music Festival. My thoughts shifted, and I realized, “Forget HIFA—there’s something new to look forward to!” Mark your calendars for October 4th and 5th, as it’s going to be a hot and refreshing summer experience.
Being someone who doesn’t just take things at face value, I decided to have a conversation with the festival’s director, Walter Wanyanya. What stood out is that JMF is a pure celebration of music—nothing but music. Now in its second year, the festival is already showing signs of growth. You might be wondering which artists are performing. Well, here’s some exciting news: if you’re an artist, whether you’re underground or mainstream, there will be opportunities to showcase your talent. Stay tuned for artist call-ups and grab that chance!
These are dates you’ll want to reserve for a rich musical journey, starting with workshops on October 4th and followed by a soulful experience on October 5th. In conclusion, I believe the future of festivals in Zimbabwe is still bright, and festival lovers should continue to support and celebrate them.
