The stage is set for one of Zimbabwe’s most anticipated musical events of the year as Afro-fusion artist Mwenje Mathole prepares to launch his new album, Vomuvenje: Better Must Come, at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC) VIP Lounge on November 7.

Presented by Mosi Music, the launch promises a night of rhythm, reflection, and reinvention, bringing together some of the country’s biggest musical names.

The star-studded lineup includes Mbeu, Nyasha David, Victor Kunonga and Alexio Kawara, alongside Mathole’s own Travellers Band and guest performers Mono Mukundu, Agga Nyabinde and Fusion 5 Mangwiro.

With doors opening at 6pm, the concert is expected to draw fans from across the country eager to experience Mathole’s fresh sound — a unique blend of Afro-jazz, soul, and traditional Zimbabwean rhythms that carry powerful social messages.
