Harare Music | Zimbabwean music in Europe
	


Harare are one of only a handful of Zimbabwean dance ensembles in Europe today. Fronted by the exuberance and charisma of Zimbabwean musician Kuda Matimba, Harare feature a groundbreaking line-up, mixing the buzzing acoustics of the Southern African rich-toned marimba, mbira, ringing jingling guitars, swooping basslines, irresistible dance rhythms and uplifting vocals. A virtuoso marimbist, Kuda Matimba was a member of Zimbabwe’s legendary Bhundu Boys, a groundbreaking force in the African music industry, as they paved the way for more artists to reach commercial success in Europe and the US.

Harare celebrates both the past and the future of African dance music and brings a spectacular mix of Southern African musical styles, particularly the musical styles of Zimbabwe. Kuda strongly believes in the importance of preserving one’s heritage through music. Harare’s music is about social awareness, life yesterday, today and tomorrow, advice, respect, love for one another and compassion. It expresses emotions such as pain, love, wisdom and rage. Words to the songs are performed in the Shona language of Zimbabwe. Kuda brings both old and new compositions and arrangements to the Harare set. Their powerful and vibrant stage-shows have an unstoppable momentum guaranteed to fill the dance floor.

Rising London born producer and DJ, Melle Brown continues to deliver glimmering house grooves through her productions and mixes. She blends nostalgia with elements of sunrise and sunset dance moments and influences of neo-soul, tech and deep house to create soundscapes unique to her. 

Melle first made waves when her Intersection EP dropped on Jamz Supernova’s Future Bounce label ft. GRAMMY nominated Tiana Major9 in 2019. The project received rave reviews from household names like Elton John to Trevor Nelson; kickstarting a flourishing career. Then followed several singles, including fan favourites 'One More Chance' and 'Night Drift', whilst adding remixes for Aluna, Diplo and Mark Knight to her catalogue. Summer 2022 saw Melle release ‘Feel About You’ with radio legend Annie Mac on vocals. The track was named as one of Billboard’s 'Best Dance Tracks of The Year' and included remixes from DJ Koze, HoneyLuv and the soulful house veteran Sean McCabe. 

Winning over her fellow artist community with her irresistible fusion of throwback sonics and modern electronics, Melle has been invited to support sets by Kerri Chandler, Patrick Topping and Ewan McVicar, and has played at places such as Pikes Hotel, Glastonbury, Warehouse Project, and Fabric.

Previously tipped as One To Watch by Mixmag, Melle is also an experienced broadcaster, covering BBC Radio 1’s Future Dance Show for Sarah Story and regularly dropping by Defected Broadcasting Radio for special radio events.
