The Big Chill - Harare's Biggest Slam!!!

Harare's nightlife is no doubt the most hectic in Zimbabwe as the people of this city party like there is no tomorrow. The city has hosted various events including shows performed by international acts like Akon, Sean Paul, Beenie Man, P.Square and most recently D'Banj. However, the beginning of 2013 saw an event coming onto the scene and changing the game altogether. It is The Big Chill and it has become Harare's most happening monthly event.

Last Friday at Old Hararians Sports Club was the 7th installment of The Big Chill which as always rocked big time! Performing live on stage were Ammara Brown, Few Kings & Dadza D backed by a hot line up of dee-jays including the internationally acclaimed Dj Smoove, Dj Hotspitter, Chucknosis and the 'Game Recognize Game' duo of Ash Stylez & Nivek.

All the performers gave a fantastic show but no doubt the night belonged to dancehall star Dadza D who sent the crowd into a frenzy with hits like 'mvura hakuna' and 'uyu ndiani'. He really proved to all and sundry that Zim Dancehall has definitely taken over as his performance was filled with energy. Not to be outdone was Ammara Brown who's dances captivated the crowd and left most guys looking for her number (tough luck gents).

The djs also had their 'A' game on as they were dropping them down hit after hit. The usual 'suspects' Chuckie, Dj Hotspitter and Game Recognize Game really steered the ship as they had some heavy mixes. Chuckie in particular was outstanding and he has become what we can call the resident dj of The Big Chill. Dj Smoove was no doubt the top billing spinner at the event and as usual his set was world class. No wonder he is one of Zimbabwe's biggest experts when we talk of entertainment.

The Big Chill is organised by Khaya Defero and hosted by Star FM every month and Old Hararians has become the natural venue. This event offers fans the chance to mix and mingle with the whos who of entertainment in Zimbabwe. Star FM should be especially commended for their advertising and hosting of the event. The night's MCs were TXO-The Crossover presenter, Nikki and StarFM Sport's Chief Koti and to say they were amazing would be an understatement!

Thumbs up to everyone who came on Friday, the atmosphere was amazing and it showed that Harare is one of the most happening cities in Africa. All we can say is we cannot wait for the next Big Chill.
