New Additions to Wide World Artists
Wide World Artists is proud to announce several new additions to its lineup of Zimbabwean stars: Bongo Love and Mathias Julius. Both major names in Zimbabwean music, these new artists bring yet more diversity and excitement to the sweet sounds of Wide World Artists.
Bongo Love is arguably the most internationally acclaimed band to come out of Zimbabwe in modern times. After several major US tours (which included three sold-out Madison Square Garden performances with legendary rock group, Dispatch), the group has developed a major following in North America and Europe and is known for its distinct blend of traditional and popular sounds.
Multi-talented artist Mathias “Matty” Julius represents the very best of Zimbabwe’s young, urban music scene. Blending reggae, dub, and hiphop influences, he brings a unique new sound to Wide World Artists’ roster of musical talents.

The organization currently sponsors over 50 girls, paying each student’s school fees, purchasing uniforms and supplies, and making textbooks available through a textbook lending library.
