Guruve Marimba Arts Ensemble has earned a spot in the national spotlight after clinching first place at the Mashonaland Central provincial finals of the Chibuku Neshamwari Traditional Dance Festival.
The event, held Saturday at Tipaz Bar & Nite Club in Shamva, marked the final provincial round in a series of ten that began in May. As the last province to host its qualifier, Mashonaland Central did not disappoint, with strong performances and tight competition.
Performing the Dinhe dance, Guruve Marimba Arts Ensemble impressed the judges and walked away with $2,500 and a ticket to the national finals in Mutare on July 19.
Chinyakare Arts, also showcasing the Dinhe dance, took second place and received $1,500. Shamva Beni came third with their Bani Arinoti dance performance, earning $1,000.
With all ten provincial winners now confirmed, the focus shifts to the national showdown at the Mutare Showgrounds.
The finalists will spend the next two weeks fine-tuning their choreography, rehearsing intensely, and finalising their costumes as they prepare to compete for the $15,000 grand prize.
