“This will also act as a way to promote the rhumba groups. As a club we are looking at diversifying our entertainment acts to satisfy all our audiences with different musical genres.”
Zimbabwe’s top rhumba groups Diamond Musica and BV Labien Musica have previously performed at the venue and are some of the groups that are going to perform at the popular club.
“These groups [Diamond Musica and BV Labien] have attracted huge crowds and from now on we are expecting more rhumba lovers to come and enjoy the music of their choice.
The Rhumba Night is one of the popular events on our calendar and we will keep on inviting big names in the genre,” Nyamanhindi said.
