Gemma Griffiths will perform at the Zimbabwe Independence Day celebrations in Edmonton, Canada, on April 19. This marks her first show in Canada after receiving many messages from Zimbabweans living there. Other performers include Nashie Zim, Nkwali, Micyunging, MC Amanda Nothando, and Sadza Neguru.

The event helps preserve Zimbabwean culture among diaspora communities. It educates people about history, traditions and creates pride among Zimbabwean-Canadian youth. Gemma said she feels lucky to call Zimbabwe home because it shaped her music and sense of belonging.

Fans can expect new songs from her upcoming album, GEMMA, which will be released on May 23. She plans to play recent singles "Mhaka," "Alone," and "Ndarema." Washington Ruzvidzo from Fambocide Entertainment encouraged a large attendance, noting that they added Nkwali to bring traditional music that connects with older attendees and teaches children cultural roots.

The celebration features traditional dance, food, and storytelling that strengthen community bonds. DJs Fantafire, Vinnyonone, and Winters Majesty will keep the crowd dancing throughout the event.
