Despite the chilly weather, revellers are spoilt for choice this weekend.

For those who love the rhumba music, tonight all roads lead to the EastPoint venue where some of the local acts are set to perform headlined by Juntal.

The event is being hosted by Mungo Promotions in conjunction with M25 in a bid to promote the upcoming musicians, especially in Chitungwiza.

The seasoned musician self-proclaimed rhumba king will also be joined by Mufasa Captain of Rumba, Nduna, Jamilie Benjy T, Milz Jazz Band among others.

Show promoter Oliver Mutafera, affectionately known as Tafera, said they have started with the rhumba night because they want to revive the genre and make it appreciated even by the younger generation.

“We have started with Juntal to headline the Rhumba Night tonight and will be supported by the young upcoming musicians,” he said.

“So far there are 25 upcoming artistes who come and record their music. We cover all genres, we give them access to studio time for free and then when they are ripe, we then give them a chance to showcase their talent.”
