Oudney Patsika | Sona Headlines & Sona Solar Zimbabwe
In a landmark celebration of female artistry, the NUBIAN NOTES concert is set to make history at the Harare International Convention Centre. Headlined by Zimbabwe's top female musicians—including Tamy Moyo, Feli Nandi, and Gemma Griffiths—this event is more than a concert; it's a powerful statement on the rise and influence of women in the nation's music industry.
A New Stage for Women in Music
Under the theme “Mambokadzi – The Rise of Her Sound,” the Nubian Notes concert aims to create a space where female voices take centre stage — strong, unapologetic, and inspiring. For too long, female musicians have played second fiddle to their male counterparts in Zimbabwe, and this event stands as a bold response to that narrative, celebrating their artistry, resilience, and growing influence on the national stage.
Organized by Gateway Stream Media and ZAR Events, the concert is positioned as more than just a one-night showcase. Elton Kurima of Gateway Stream Media highlighted the broader vision: “By partnering with these incredible women, we are not just hosting a concert — we are building an artistic ecosystem that supports creativity, collaboration, and long-term growth in Zimbabwe’s music industry.”
This year’s edition features powerhouse performers including Tamy Moyo, Feli Nandi, Gemma Griffiths, Shashl, and Nisha TS, alongside hosts Becky K and KVG, with Yahya The DJ bringing the energy to the decks all night.
While the lineup is exclusively female, the Nubian Notes concert is an open invitation to everyone who loves live music. “Yes, it’s an all-female lineup — but this show is for everyone,” Kurima emphasized. “We want every music lover — young or old, male or female — to experience this concert as a celebration of sound, strength, and unity.”
Presented by Gateway Stream Media and ZAR Events, the concert takes place at the
Harare International Conference Centre (HICC) on Saturday, 8 November 2025.
Doors open at 5 PM and the show starts at 7 PM.
Early Bird Tickets: General Access – $15 | VIP – $30
