WITH Bulawayo already in the festive craze mode, party and tribal house music fanatics are yet to be treated to a classy all black event as South Africa’s world touring group Black Motion are set to shut down the Cosmopolitan Club with their polished Urban-African stage movements on 20 December.
Black Motion who always dedicate a show annually for their loyal Bulawayo fans, will this year have to put more charisma to their stage piece, as the Imali hit-makers have to surpass their fellow countrymen Qgom group, Distruction Boys who have since charmed many locals with their skills on the decks.
Unlike the duo of Distruction Boys whose strength is vested on mixing only, Black Motion already have an upper hand in as far as stage performance is concerned.
With DJ Murder taking care of the decks with his mind blowing mixing skills, Smol will compliment his wheel spinner as he will be playing African drums which the group claims are “special native drums” collected from each country they visit, hence giving people a nice stage piece.
The group which rose to fame after releasing Banane Mavoko song in 2010 while they were still part of Kalawa Jazmee, might have only one weakness at the night of the show as they didn’t release any offering this year. However, with their last year’s all-hit track album, Ya Badimo, Black Motion might perform songs from the album and mix them with other artiste’s songs especially those of Distruction Boys like Omunye.
Mduduzi Mdlongwa who is one of the 3D Events organisers said Black Motion will arrive at Joshua Mqabuko Airport at the day of the show at 12pm.
He also said the venue of this year’s show was strategic as they considered many factors which include security and weather elements amongst others.
“Black Motion will arrive at the Joshua Nkomo International Airport on 20 December around 12pm. We have managed to accommodate their fans as we will have a meet and greet occasion at the airport, they will also be signing autographs,” said Mduduzi.
“This year we chose to host the show at Cosmopolitan Club because we are trying to rectify different factors that almost flopped last year’s show like security and violence. As it is a rainy season, we are bound not to have problems because the venue is secure,” he said.
Distruction boys have already earned their stripes with two shows which were hosted at Club Connect this year, Black Motion has to prove a point with only one show. Let the Bulawayo citizens judge who are the best.
