HARARE – Fresh off the buzz of her successful album Gender IIH (Woman King), Afro-soul musician Anisha Tashinga Shonhiwa populary known as Nisha Ts is ready to own the stage at this year’s Nubian Notes Concert, promising a performance that will be remembered for a lifetime.
The concert, hosted by Gateway Stream Media in partnership with ZAR Events, will spotlight women’s strength, creativity, and individuality in music and for Nisha Ts, being part of this all-women lineup is both an honour and an inspiration.
“Being part of an all-female show like Nubian Notes is a celebration of women’s strength and creativity. It’s a reminder of the power we hold as women when we come together in a space where I can express my art freely while uplifting others who share the same passion,” said Nisha Ts.
Known for her unique style in music and dressing Nisha Ts has become one of the most exciting voices redefining Zimbabwe’s contemporary music scene.
“My performance is inspired by staying true to yourself, no matter what the world expects of me. I want the audience to feel empowered, seen, and reminded that their voice matters,” she said.
Nisha Ts believes women in the arts are no longer waiting for permission they are taking charge of their narratives and shaping the industry on their own terms. “We are no longer waiting for permission to take up space. We are telling our own stories, building our own platforms, and breaking barriers across all genres. The change is powerful and for us it is only the beginning,” she said.
The artist promised fans a performance filled with energy, emotion, and authenticity, saying it will be a reflection of her artistic journey and the themes explored in Gender IIH (Woman King). “Fans should expect energy, emotion, and authenticity, I have prepared something special that reflects my journey as an artist. It is going to be a memorable experience that celebrates music, womanhood, and unity.”
Hinting at a surprise moment during her set, Nisha teased, “Let’s just say there is a special moment that fans should look out for during my performance and I am really excited to share something unexpected that will bring everyone together in a beautiful way. Come tinakidzwe, Gender iiii Fimero!”
Gateway Stream Media Manager, Mr. Elton Kurima, said the concert is more than just an event it’s a movement celebrating women’s influence in the creative space.
“At Gateway Stream Media, we believe in using music as a tool for empowerment and inclusion,” said Kurima. “Nubian Notes is our tribute to the women who continue to redefine the creative landscape. We look forward to welcoming fans and the media to this remarkable celebration of sound and sisterhood.”
