The ZGS/GZH was running an Open Call for Creatives (Individuals), Hubs/ Creative enterprises/organizations, and Festivals.
We are delighted to announceTariro neGitare, as one of our Pop Up Open call Winners.
Tariro ‘neGitare’ Chaniwa is a Zimbabwean guitarist, singer and songwriter. She plays an original mix of indigenous African sounds and contemporary urban styles with a strong afro soul feel. Tariro started playing the guitar in high school, at the age of 13. She has since shared the stage with some of Zimbabwe’s finest musicians. She is an avid collaborator with notable South African, German, American, and UK artists and groups. Tariro holds a diploma in Personnel Management, an Honors Degree in Sociology and Gender Studies, and a Master of Science in Development. She is an entrepreneur who runs TNG Music (arts, events and promotions) and Magitare Africa Trust (arts and culture development). Tariro is passionate about capacity building in the arts and is a thought leader in the creative space.
Khuluma Culture is an initiative by Magitare Africa Trust aimed at encouraging the use of local Zimbabwean languages in everyday communication. This project will kick off with an album recording that will feature Ndebele and Shona folklore songs sung by Tariro neGitare. This project will also be the launchpad for Khuluma Culture Club which is a language learning club that allows learners to use Zimbabwean indigenous languages outside regular class teaching in a fun and informal way.
