From Masvingo To New York
On 24 September, Baba Harare, born Braveman Chizvino Mwanza, dazzled his fanbase when he shared a video promotion of his upcoming album “Prove Them Wrong” on a Times Square billboard in New York in the United States. The imposing digital billboard showed his topless image, which is the album’s cover, and the title of the body of work dropping on 20 October 2023.
