Focus Acappella, a gospel ensemble from Zimbabwe, performs at premier hotels throughout Antalya, Turkey. The award-winning group relocated three years ago after social media contact from a Turkish promoter. Their performances blend contemporary acappella with gospel, soul, jazz and R&B elements. Audiences respond enthusiastically to their shows with frequent standing ovations. The group represents Zimbabwe while entertaining international tourists at sophisticated venues.

The ensemble originated in Bulawso's Pelandaba suburb within the Seventh-day Adventist Church before achieving national recognition. Formation occurred in 2009 with seven members, though twelve performers currently represent the group in Turkey. Their decision to commercialize operations and pursue international markets led to this Turkish venture. Cosmo Ncube manages administration and finances for the relocated ensemble. The group carefully verified the promoter's legitimacy before accepting the overseas opportunity.

Language barriers create persistent challenges since English receives limited use among Turkish residents. Google Translate assists with basic communication and shopping tasks. The predominantly Muslim environment restricts their Christian worship practices, causing occasional homesickness. Despite adaptation difficulties, the performers report positive reception from Turkish people. The ensemble has earned multiple domestic awards while releasing one album and six singles.
