Pamberi Trust’s gender project FLAME this weekend brings you  the 16 Days Concert,  running for the third year under the international '16 Days of Activism against Violence against Women’ campaign, this year featuring some of Zimbabwe’s best known women artists, with a strong message denouncing violence against women.

The concert to be held at The Book Café will provide 5 hours of great music and poetry by 18 women artists of Zimbabwe, joining the world in the international campaign. 

The afternoon concert promises to be lively and highly entertaining, featuring women poets, singers and musicians who have emerged strongly onto the Zimbabwean music scene, including Aura Kawanzaruwa, Auxillia Mazhambe, Batsirai Chigama, Black Heat, Dudu Manhenga & Color Blu, Edith Katiji & So What?, ERS Muchemwa, Flow Chyld, Hope Masike & Kakuwe, Juvination, Kessia & Stanley Magosha, Rina Mushonga & The Zimfellas, Sista Fire, Thanda & Da Imani Troddaz, uZanele and Roxanne ‘Xapa’ Mathazia.

The exciting music campaign continues at The Mannenberg from 10pm on the same night, where the message will be carried through by the gifted and experienced young jazz singer Faith Mandipira, backed in a new jazz collaboration by Pablo Nakapa and other jazz friends.

Women artists of Zimbabwe have come out in the last few years, taking a stronger stand in the production and delivery of their music, poetry and dance, and taking control of their lives and careers.  Each and every single one of the artists involved in the concert have a strong message against violence, and also a strong message for peace and love.

The 16 Days Concert at The Book Café and The Mannenberg is a platform for a message that cannot be put across too strongly.  It’s a time for women artists to speak out against violence, in the way they know best, and mark a time in our history when change begins.
