Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe’s festive season will ignite on December 6 as Baba Harare and Mary Anibal storm the stage at the Big Show at Belgravia Sports Club, an eagerly awaited festive cheer charged with fresh energy, global influence, and star-power.
After a successful performance with Gemma Griffiths at Birmingham’s King of Clubs, Baba Harare returns home musically recharged, visibly inspired, and promising a whirlwind of Jiti fireworks. His fans are already buzzing after he shared on Facebook that he is “more than prepared” for the Big Show before heading to the Run 4 Nights event in Mt Pleasant the following day.
Mary Anibal, fresh off a triumphant performance of her hit Bhonzo Muderere at the iconic Le Rocher de Palmer in Bordeaux, France, brings her own brand of electrifying Afro-fusion magic to the night. Her rising global profile continues to shine brightly, with audiences abroad responding with roaring applause to her mastery of mbira, her commanding voice, and her dynamic storytelling on stage.
Baba Harare and Mary Anibal, with the inclusion of a star-studded line-up featuring Freeman, Nisha Ts, Nutty O and Saintfloew, the Big Show is positioned to be the ultimate family-friendly music celebration and instead an unforgettable close to Zimbabwe’s entertainment calendar.
Anibal’s stature continues to grow. An award-winning singer, songwriter, and mbira virtuoso, she stands at the cultural forefront of modern Afro-fusion. Her artistry uplifts women’s voices while honouring ancestral soundscapes. Her critically acclaimed debut album, Maria Wenyu (2024), showcased her emotional depth and technical prowess, while her 2025 hit Bhonzo captured the relentless hustle and indomitable spirit of Zimbabwean life.
International audiences in Canada, Zanzibar, Côte d’Ivoire, Germany, and Switzerland have all celebrated her magnetic stage presence, solidifying her as one of Zimbabwe’s strongest cultural ambassadors.
Baba Harare, born Braveman Chizvino, remains a titan of modern Jiti. His genre-defining hit The Reason Why cemented his legacy, followed by crowd-favourites like Guzuzu and the energetic sound that has made him a household name.
After a bold detour into gospel that saw him rebranding as King David and releasing My Testimony (2024) and Revived & Restored (2025), he is now returning to the Jiti sound that first won the nation’s heart. His comeback marks a renewed artistic fire, a reconnection with his roots, and a promise to deliver the high-voltage performances fans adore.
As anticipation builds, December 6 is shaping up to be a cultural homecoming, a celebration of Zimbabwean excellence, and a night set to echo with live Jiti rhythms, mbira melodies, and sing-along anthems from two artists at the peak of their craft. With Baba Harare’s reborn Jiti power and Mary Anibal’s soaring Afro-fusion presence, the Big Show on December 6 at the Belgravia Sports Club is primed to set Harare alight.
