THE CONCERT
Welcome to Kutandara’s biggest night of the year: 2022 Moon & Stars benefit Under One Sky: a celebration of Zimbabwean music!
The night was a tribute to Zimbabwean musical legends, past and present. It was a celebration of how we all come together Under One Sky and are united by the healing power of music.
