Zimbabwe Youth Festival

Zimbabwe Youth Festival Zimbabwe Youth Festival is an annual youth festival founded in 2011. The festival features fine, visual and performing arts products created by young people.

This year's event is on cards. Zimbabwe Youth Festival 2012 is themed, Sowing A Seed- building a vibrant grassroots based movement of young people actively taking part in forming, informing and contributing to national discourse through non-conventional mobilisation, participation and advocacy approaches. The project motivates young people to take a centre stage now and bear responsibility for creating a thriving country and a better tomorrow. It challenges the culture of apathy which currently typifies the state of young people in Zimbabwe. Inspired by the lessons from the previous festival, the success of the Zimbabwe Youth Festival lies in its ability to transcend physical boundaries in terms of reach and location within which the festival takes place. It combines performing arts with mass-mobilisation, seminars, film screenings and community voluntary work. Last year's event which was inaugural featured performances from Alexio Kawara, Edith weUtonga, Mokoomba, Mathias Julias and XVYBS, Chikwata 263, Umoja CFC, Roki, Stunner feat. Baba Shupi and Shastro, EQ, Leonard Mapfumo, Extra Large, Freeman, King Shaddy, Lady Squander and many more

​Introducing the Nyamasase 0205 Mbira Sound Picking System, by Rufaro.

​Born from years of solving real-world sound challenges faced by mbira players and sound engineers alike, this innovation bridges the gap between ancient tradition and modern performance technology.

​Designed and engineered by Hector Rufaro Mugani , electrical engineer Gavin Mugani , mbira keys specialist Chaka Chakandika Chaka Chakandika and founding investor and research partner Tomas Lutuli Brickhill , this system represents countless hours of experimentation, testing, and refinement. 🛠️🎵

​The journey wasn't without its sacrifices! Many instruments went under the knife during development—including a bass guitar generously donated by Anthony Mancebo Tony for parts and testing.

​This is the result of pure passion, collaboration, and a relentless commitment to pushing mbira technology forward while preserving its sacred, unique voice. The finest minds have poured their expertise into this product, and it is officially ready for the world stage.

​The Nyamasase 0205 by Rufaro — engineered for the future of mbira sound. 🔥⚡
