Shoko Festival

Magamba, one of Zimbabwe's major urban cultural organizations, organizes the Shoko Festival, a fast-growing international festival. Urban artists, free speech, and fresh ideas are featured in an artistic style. Many of the country's upcoming talents play and expose their ability to a local and worldwide audience on this platform. From musicians to comedians, these creative entertainers put on a performance for the tourists to provide a fun and festive evening.

Shoko Festival brings together the arts, new media, and civic activity. The festival promotes an environment that values freedom of expression and politically engaged art. Shoko was named Promoter of the Year at the Zim Hip Hop Awards in 2012 and 2013. It has provided possibilities for Zimbabwean performers to tour across Africa, the United States, and Europe.

From hip hop and house to comedy and spoken word, this festival has evolved into a full calendar of urban culture-related events. A variety of seminars, conferences, and artist discussions are also held throughout the festival. The comedy night is especially popular with guests.
