Over the five years since inception Sistaz Open Mic has witnessed many success stories of Zimbabwean women artists who have come out of their shell to share their art with the world.  It has largely become a scouting ground for corporate and civic organisations who seek to engage young and upcoming women artists in their programming.  Pictured above is Nancy ‘Blackheat’ Mkondyo on trumpet, a spoken word artist who now fronts the band Blackheat, they play a fusion of poetry with mbira and other traditional sounds.

Sistaz Open Mic happening this Sat 8 Sept, Book Cafe from 2-5pm.
