Harare hosts the inaugural Urban Grooves Festival on Saturday night, bringing together artists associated with Zimbabwe’s late-1990s and early-2000s urban music scene. Organised by Destiny Media in collaboration with Rich and Famous, the event is staged as a nostalgia-focused show and draws a packed audience.
Multiple outlets describe the same central idea: the festival “turns back the clock” by featuring musicians known for that earlier era of local “urban grooving” culture. New Zimbabwe specifically highlights that the programme includes performers such as Nox, Roki, Mafriq, and Madiz, and presents the night as a celebration of voices that helped define the period. Zimbabwe Independent’s coverage repeats the overall framing of a successful inaugural launch centred on nostalgia, without materially changing the core details of the event.
