PAMBERI TRUST’S HIV/AIDS PROGRAMME “BE TRUE” Invites all artists to a special screening of the Zimbabwean film ‘ABSOLUTE JITI: THE BHUNDU BOYS STORY’ By Elton Mjanana Followed by discussion: ‘Artists and HIV/AIDS – The Reality’ WED 14 JULY, 6.30pm - The Mannenberg, Fife Ave Mall, Harare Arguably the first Zimbabwean music group to command an international following when they broke into the UK live circuit in the mid-80s and played to over 80,000 delirious fans while supporting Madonna at Wembley for 4 nights in 1988, The Bhundu Boys are sadly remembered as a band that was wiped out by AIDS. This documentary film by Elton Mjanana is a moving story of the career trials and tribulations of the five-member outfit, which was made up of Rise Kagona (guitar), Rodwell Marasha aka Biggie Tembo (lead vocalist), Shakie Kangwena (keyboards), David Mankaba (bass), and Kenny Chitsvatsva (drums). The film screening will be followed by a discussion with Elton Mjanana and HIV/AIDS activist Cleo Ndlovu, on the reality of Artists and HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe. FREE: ALL WELCOME |
