NIGERIAN rapper LADIPOE made a debut appearance in Zimbabwe last Saturday to headline the Unplugged Music Festival’s August Edition at Rylance Farm in Borrowdale, Harare.
The Mavin Record signee was supported by Nutty O, Kae Chaps, Edith Weutonga, Shabach Band, DJ Rimo & DJ TK Beatz, among other performers at a fete largely known as an intimate, monthly music and cooler box affair.
Courtesy of the good friends at Unplugged and Bulawayo-born photographer Alexander Gusha, we share with you some of Unplugged experiences with exclusive pictures of LADIPOE and other loved local socialites.
