Formed in the year I was born, I have waited
my whole life to hear the 11 piece ensemble
play live and the Jameson Vic FallsCarnival @VicFallCarnival is a befitting
juncture and granted I shall finally
see them live. I can already hear Claire
Johnston @CJMangoGroove bellowing
the renowned standard Moments Away (it’s on my all time favourite list) as a tear of melodious euphoria
rolls down my cheek and hear the rest of the band singing Do You Dream of Me as my dancing feet stomp the night away into 2016.
With a career that has spun 3
decades, the Joburg natives Mango Groove are slated to headline Africa’s biggest New Year Musical
Fête ushering revelers into the New Year from midnight. The internationally renowned Cape Town hommies
Jules, Ben and Matthew collectively known as Goodluck @Goodlucklive are
also billed to bring their cosmic energy and are unlike any other act you’ve ever seen live. I saw them live shutting
it down at the R & G @RandGZambia Oktoberfest, I’ve been a follower since and look forward to hearing Figure
of 8, Trickery and their chart topping hits including their new single
Back In The Day.
The fomo of missing two consecutive Vic Falls Carnivals (VFC) still haunts me after dark. A militia of millions won’t stop the Godfather of Zambian live blogging
from curating this musical extravaganza. It’s no urban legend I really jogged the full 45Km
to Oktoberfest. With less than a week to go, my state of mind is #JVFC2015 or die!

The founders Sean Young and Blessing
Munyenyiwa @lovefourafrica who established the Vic Falls Carnival in 2012
have reeled in the help of Seed Experiences @SeedExperiences to take
this experience to the next level. From the line up of acts to the sponsorship,
the world class #JVFC2015 will be lit… It will be of epic proportions. Italian
eyewear giants CARRERA @carreraworld
are backing the festival as a major sponsor.
CARRERA have a new collection and some slick
designs which fest goers can access on their website www.carreraworld.com,
to take their whole fest mode to the next level. Anyone who knows yours truly @ZambiazHarshTag knows sunglasses
are a way of life for me (I even
wear a pair to bed), I’ll need
at least three sets of CARRERAs (some in multiple colours) to narrate the state of affairs right. My top
three fest picks from the novel
collection are the Carrera 6008
in AvanaI
for the build up on the 31st and the Blu for night vision nocturnal activities.
The 30th will
require heavy artillery in form of
the new classic Carrerino 15 Blu.
The
pilgrimage to the Carnival on the 28th or 29th will require
something special in form of the Carrera
100 SLE,
I can jog in them, hop on a bus with them, do an epic road trip/hitchhike or catch a flight and still look the part on the road to #JVFC2015. Now that I got my visuals sorted, need to sort out a place to catch some Zzzz.

no shortage of activities to keep you occupied from Steam Train & Secret Bush Party on the 29th to the multiple parties around town (entrance will be free for Carnival ticket
holders). The musical extravaganza and the live acts will all be performing
at Vic Falls Primary School which is
the venue of the Carnival. It is Africa’s biggest New Years Eve Party, if you
didn’t have plans for New Years Eve now you do #JVFC2015. Way to end 2015 and start 2016, beam me up to
Jameson Victoria Falls Carnival, it will be obscene levels of epic and 1000
selfies. Yes I would say yes to being the Carnival jester. #JVFC2015
