As part of this initiative, the talented group participated in the 2024 Zimbabwe Jazz Festival, delivering unforgettable performances that left a lasting impression on the local music scene.

Nnavy’s tour, supported by the Swiss Embassy, marked a significant highlight in this year's festival. Performing alongside renowned Zimbabwean jazz artists such as Steve Chikotie, Paul Lunga, and Prudence Katomeni, Nnavy’s soulful melodies and captivating stage presence added a fresh dynamic to the celebration of jazz in Zimbabwe. Their participation not only brought international flair to the festival but also fostered a unique cultural exchange that transcended borders and genres.

The band’s visit wasn't limited to the festival stage. As part of their cultural exchange mission, Nnavy engaged with young, aspiring musicians through Master Class workshops, where they shared their knowledge, experience, and love for jazz. These workshops, organised with the help of the Alliance Française, provided an invaluable opportunity for students and upcoming artists to learn from seasoned professionals, offering inspiration and guidance for the next generation of Zimbabwean musicians.

The success of Nnavy’s tour highlights the importance of cultural diplomacy and the role of music in bringing communities together. The Embassy of Switzerland, alongside its partners, is proud to have supported this initiative, which celebrated not only the diversity of jazz but also the vibrant cultural connections between Switzerland and Zimbabwe.

The Zimbabwe Jazz Festival 2024 was indeed a magical experience, and Nnavy’s involvement solidified its place as one of the most memorable events in the festival’s history. The Embassy of Switzerland remains committed to promoting cultural exchange and fostering meaningful collaborations between the two countries through the universal language of music.
