After a couple of weeks of politically related disturbances, the continued rise in the price of basic commodities, people of Harare and the entire country are going to be given "stress relief" by the arrival of Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) which starts on the 1st of May to the 6th of May 2007.
HIFA is an annual international arts festival. It embraces five main disciplines- music, theatre, fine arts, dance and spoken word. The festival began in 1999 and is the brain child of Manuel Bagorro. It showcases Zimbabwean, regional and and international performances. Last year saw the presentation by one of Africa's leading artist, Angelique Kidjo. This year's festival is going to attract yet another fantastic line up which includes Thandiswa Mazwai of the group Bongo Muffin a South African music outfit.
What a good way to sideline the worries that the city life overload us with, daily.
