President Emmerson Mnangagwa honored the Mbare Chimurenga Choirs on Thursday. He gave them gifts for their role in Zimbabwe's culture. The choirs got food and money.
Mr. Mnangagwa spoke at the event. He wants the choirs to bring in young musicians, keep their music going, and find new ways to share it.
"Invite more youth to join your groups," the president urged. "And use technology to reach more people with your songs."
The Mbare Chimurenga Choirs are famous. Their powerful songs and dances rally the ruling Zanu PF party. They inspire the nation to come together, to love their country, and to grow.
The choirs made news recently. They said they need money for new music. In the past, the government took good care of them. Former president Robert Mugabe had them perform often. They always had what they needed. But things have changed. The choirs don't get invited as much anymore.
