It’s been a long time coming and
we are glad that it is finally here;
and right on time. With it being a
new year and we are celebrating,
because life is fundamentally
about enjoying the world and the
things in it. In all anticipation we
are glad to bring you something
new, a magazine we like to call

urban music and culture.

Having gone through 2013 which
was both exciting and trying, as
the Zimbabwean urban scenery
went through a transition. As
editor in chief of an ‘urban’
magazine, I’ve been very excited
about these changes especially
with the music scene and what
could be more thrilling than
having Zimbabwe’s current ‘it-girl’
Ammara Brown, on the cover of
the first issue of our magazine. She
is defining herself as her own
person and is definitely bringing
the heat on with her fiery persona.
She shared with us what makes
her tick and how she’s bringing
her A-game in taking our urban
music to another level.
With the transition there is also a
rise of entrepreneurs due to the
current socio-economic situation,
and in this first issue we are giving
guidelines on entrepreneurship
including a one-on-one with a
young businessman, CEO of
Emerging Ideas and C Media,
Tommy Deuschle. We get into
the groove with lots of
interviews with musicians in
their respective areas of musical
expertise from acoustic artists to
music producers to club djs, as
they put that groove in your
dancing shoes.
We also look at this season’s
fashions, which is light, bright
and bold!; the latest trends in
gadgets, cars and all things that
influence urban culture. And we
get real with some men who talk
about striking a balance between
their hectic careers and their
responsibilities....as fathers. And
don’t forget to take a look at our
urban dictionary to get with the
lingo.
We hope that you have as much
fun being part of this new
experience as we had in
becoming part of it. We are
looking forward to more exciting
issues of the new sound of the
nation and taking this journey
with you is the extension of the
beat.
Groove Magazine…..the
beat of the Nation!
