2009 Zimbabwean Music Festival
In 2009, with Zimfest Association, University of Colorado, and the City of Boulder, we helped produced the Zimbabwean Music Festival, an annual celebration of Zimbabwean music and culture, and the largest annual gathering in North America of students, teachers, performers, and fans of Zimbabwean music. You can peruse the 2009 Registration Guide and the 2009 Festival Guide on the Zimfest website.
The Zimbabwean Music Festival is an bi-annual celebration of Zimbabwean music and culture. Zimfest is a fun-filled four-day weekend of concerts, workshops, community conversations, African marketplace, and more.
