Zimbabwe: Exciting Eisteddfod Showcases Astounding Zim Talent

This year's Eisteddfod has been particularly exciting, culminating today with the junior highlights concert at 11am at the Harare International School theatre.

The event follows last night's final concert and awards ceremony at the same venue. The National Institute of Allied Arts (NIAA) launched a Facebook group last year, and this has really taken off, especially since the 2016 vocal and instrumental festival began last month. The page has provided an easy and popular medium for sharing information, reviews, photos and video clips of some of the action and performances at the festival. In particular, videos of some of the marimba challenge, one of the highlight events of the festival every year, have attracted much attention, and one of these clips actually went viral. At time of writing, the clip had been viewed over 3,7 million times globally. As interest in this escalated, so several other clips from this event and others have attracted a large amount of interest, and their Facebook statistics have also rocketed daily. So if you love to support and follow arts, especially our budding Zimbabweans artists, as they rise through the ranks and attain proficiency in their chosen genres, join the NIAA Group (www.facebook.com/groups/niaazim) and share in some of the fun and excitement of this and other NIAA festivals.
