It came down to the best ten musical groups drawn from across all the provinces of Zimbabwe and the Chibuku Road to Fame finals did not disappoint.
With a hilarious name, ‘Group 2D’ proved they were not novices to the competition as they cruised to victory after several years of entering.
The Afro-fusion and contemporary jazz outfit hailing out of Chinhoyi beat 9 other groups to win the coveted $15000 prize.
Second place went to The Grooves from Midlands which got US$10 000 and third place went to Matabeleland North’s Shantani Musical Band which was awarded US$7 000.
Speaking after the victory, Grade 2D leader, Reginald Kamuchanyu praised his team for showing resilience throughout the years.
“It’s been a long time coming and we never stopped believing, what we witness today are results of hard work and determination,” said Kamuchanyu.
He added that the group will try to emulate other winners and make a name for them in the mainstream.
Notable acts from the Chibuku Road to Fame who have achieved stardom include Romeo Gasa (2007), Adequate Sounds (2016), The Travellers (2017) and Identity (2019).
