Ray of hope for local artistes
UPCOMING and established local artistes have something to smile about especially during and after the impending festive season following the opening of new uptown leisure centre, Generations Club, which will give them with a platform to showcase their talents.
The club, situated in Mutare's Central Business District, opened shop this week following the closure of business by their predecessors G3 Big Fun who used to run the joint under the name Soul City. Mutare has been one of the cities with vast talented yet less exposed artistes because of lack of promotions and few entertainment places to showcase their artistic ingenuity.
The club opens everyday and caters for all ages from 18 years. Entertainment stable Brutal Cut, which comprises Zim dancehall, sungura, old and new school deejays who include Hollies, Zintronix, Fullstop, Miles and Walle are handling the entertainment affairs at this uptown joint. Dj Kartel is the club's guest deejay whose finnese in sungura music — both old and new — is next to none. The platform will also be open for artistes from out of Mutare as well as private parties and other entertainment events.
"It's the dawn of a new era for the entertainment fraternity. We took time to open this joint because we wanted to make sure that we offer excellent services in an ideal and properly furnished, serene environment.
“Artistes from Mutare and beyond will have a chance to shine while in some cases our deejays will make sure that we give our valued patrons excellent services.
"We are here to offer a new and fresh lease of entertainment in the eastern border city. It has been entertainment starved and everything had become monotonous. We want to be a blessing to artistes, deejays, fun lovers and imbibers," said one member of management at the joint.
