The Herald (Harare) 5 October 2007 Posted to the web 5 October 2007 Harare Jamaicanreggae artiste Luciano - real name Jepther McClymont - is billed to hold two shows at the Glamis Arena at Harare Exhibition Park and at the Rainbow Towers in Harare on October 20 and 21. Top South African reggae-pop outfit Bongo Maffin and local urban groover Sniper will be supporting acts during the two gigs. The Zimbabwe Tourism Authority is facilitating the show, which is being promoted by Shumba Instrumentation.
An official from Shumba Instrumentation said Luciano s tour would be a great opportunity for Zimbabwe to play host to various international artistes, a move that would help the country in improving its tourism sector. The shows - dubbed Smiles Zimbabwe Splush . .
. were also aimed at promoting Zimbabwe ahead of the World Cup 2010to be held in South Africa. Once people know that Luciano visited Zimbabwe they would want to come and see the different tourists destinations that the country has on offer.
More artistes would come to perform this side and I believe by 2010 we would have marketed our country well enough.
