Nox has been… and checked out for South Africa on Sunday afternoon following the urban groovers’ maiden UK tour which took the star to Coventry, London and Birmingham in what have been memorable shows against the pioneering challenges of being a freshman to the UK audience. The test is over and the diagnostic writing is on the wall…Noxmania gripped many!!
On Saturday night the urban grooves crooner registered a crack performance at a Fab Afrique fashion show at The Drum in Birmingham. Nox transcended the Zimbabwean fan base that many artists so much rely on by indelibly imprinting his musical mark before a wholly international audience.
FabAfriq launched an introductory print version of their magazine after a year of online publication. FabAfriq is an African lifestyle magazine, with particular emphasis on African inspired contents, contemporary fashion, features on culture, African cuisine, health and tourism, development and book reviews.
Tightly fitting for the occasion was Nox’s ambassadorial tune, ‘I wanna take you to Victoria Falls’ which pitched him high on the Afro-RNB musical logsheet.The theme of the night was "Fabulous African celebrating Black History”.
The event also showcased the Zimbabwean born African Fashion designer Thandi Haruperi of the ThandiWrap label, Palvika and many more to celebrate the rise of African Fashion at an international level. Nya King (Nyarai) a UK based Zimbabwean singer-songwriter joined hands with Nox to raise the Zimbabwean flag.
Fab Afriq Beryl-Ann PR and Communications Executive said ‘Nox is an impressive artist; he is just amazing and unique, he brings pride to the continent’.
Nox’ promoters Madboiz Entertainment were jubilant and upbeat about the shows and are already plotting Christmas gigs
Madboiz Entertainment continues to connect the diaspora with home grown talent to quench nostalgia and Zimbabwean musical thirst. Alex Mutoro, spokesperson for Madboiz Entertainment has announced that the journey continues, ‘Christmas time, Nox, King Shaddy and Ex-Q will scorch the UK festive season with a series of gigs’.
