Hundreds of young hopefuls gathered at the Pablo’Z club in Harare during the weekend for a chance to audition on the new music talent search show, Loud Africa.
Excited and confident about their chances of success the artists queued outside the audition house as early as 8 am.
The Harare auditions which kicked off last week are in their final stages and are set to end on 28 June 2018.
Thereafter they move over to Pablo’Z Gweru from 2 to 12 July 2018.
The auditions, which ran for hours on Saturday, attracted interest from passing shoppers at the Sam Levi Village who expressed their enthusiasm about the upcoming latent search.
One Mrs Sterling said the country needed such properly funded talent shows so as to unearth the abundant talent we have.
“The last time we had something of this magnitude was during the CBZ A Academy days, and that’s a while back,” she said.
“From what I have been told here Loud Africa is going to be the biggest thing not only on TV but even on everyday conversations.”
Pablo’Z head of marketing, Lyndon Kapuya urged Harare artists to come and audition as the show auditions are now nearing the closing date.
“We do not want anyone with talent to be left out, young and old, both should come and register for a chance to win Loud Africa,” he said.
“So far we have had scores of talented artists from as far as Mutare, Norton, Marondera and other areas surrounding Harare.
He also said that schools which wanted to audition as a group are most welcome and they will pay the normal $15 registration fee.
The winner of Loud Africa will receive $30 000 worth of prizes among many things which include a full recording contract.
The show which will be hosted by radio presenter Rebbeca “Miss Becky” Muchenje will begin to air on ZBCtv end of July with the final expected before December.
Pablo’Z Productions in partnership with AfricanFire Media have invested heavily into the project and have purchased top of the range equipment
On its judges’ panel is radio and TV personality Zandile ‘The Zazalicious One’ Ndlovu, Power FM’s Hazvinei ‘DJ Chilli’ Sakarombe, singer Prayersoul, AfricanFire Media co-founder Martin Boka and singer-songwriter Victor Stot.
