BILLED as a milestone concert headlined by female musicians, Nubian Notes will provide a real test of mettle, character and maturity for the artists.
The concert, which will be held November 8, 2025, at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC), aims to shine the spotlight on and celebrate female artists’ immense contribution to the music industry.
Female musicians have often played second fiddle to their male counterparts, and Nubian Notes provides a perfect opportunity for them to prove their prowess.
Tamy Moyo, Feli Nandi, Gemma Griffiths, Nisha Ts and Shashl form the core of the cast expected to perform at the HICC.
Shashl said the concert will showcase what united women can bring into the spotlight.
“Being part of an all-female show is more than just a performance; it’s a statement of unity and strength. It’s about women standing together, celebrating each other’s voices, and breaking the narrative that we must compete to shine.
“My performance is inspired by real emotion. Vulnerability is not weakness; it is art in its purest form. Every woman carries a story, and through my music, I want people to feel seen, understood, and uplifted,” said Shashl.
Shashl also gave a hint of what to expect from her performance on the night.
“It’s going to be soulful and heartfelt, with a signature Shashl touch, real stories, beautiful melodies, and a connection that goes beyond the stage. Let’s just say it’s a celebration of womanhood, music, and unity. You will have to be there to feel it,” she said.
Feli Nandi, Tamy Moyo and Gemma Griffiths have been criss-crossing the streets of Harare, drumming up support for the event.
From tertiary institutions to salons, the musicians are leaving nothing to chance as the historic night looms.
The event is being organised by Gateway Stream Media in collaboration with ZAR Events.
Gateway Stream Media manager Elton Kurima said the systems are in place for a successful concert.
“We are incredibly proud to host a show that celebrates talent, creativity, and the strength of women in music. Nubian Notes is a night for everyone; fans, families, and the industry, to come together and celebrate the powerful stories told through song.
“The Nubian Notes Concert is a powerful celebration of women’s artistry and influence. It’s a platform where female voices take centre stage — strong, unapologetic, and inspiring. We’re thrilled to invite Zimbabwe to witness this incredible showcase of talent and unity on November 8,” said Kurima. – NewZimbabwe
