It’s a powerful opportunity to showcase his award-winning sound to a new audience and to share the stage with such an incredible lineup.

The connection between the two artists began organically via social media, with frequent exchanges of ideas and plans for future collaborations. This Mozambique tour marks the first live manifestation of that creative synergy.
For ZaiMarn, every cross-border performance carries deep meaning: “Every show is about respect and connection. I take time to understand the culture and vibe of the audience while staying true to my own signature sound. Preparation includes curating a setlist that balances fan favorites with music that resonates universally, rehearsing with precision, and embracing the idea that music is a language that transcends borders. At the end of the day, it’s about creating a shared experience that feels authentic, no matter where in the world I perform.”
Fans in Mozambique can expect two nights of unforgettable music, high energy, and cultural celebration as Zeh McGeba and ZaiMarn light up the stage in a historic weekend tour that promises to set the tone for future collaborations between Eswatini and Mozambique’s music scenes.
