VIP entitles you to – near stage seating, VIP bar and toilet, if you purchase a t-shirt you will get a selfie with MiCasa. T-shirts will be sold for $10.00 all sizes," posted Sopranos.

Also a debate is raging on its Facebook page on what is the appropriate price for tickets, with many saying $10 for standard and $20 for VIP is the norm in Bulawayo.

Sources close to the organisers say preparations for the show have kicked off.

"The organisers are only waiting for clearance from the relevant authorities so that they can start a full on marketing regime for the show," said the source.

The multi SA award winning group consists of three members, Dr. Duda (producer) and pianist, J'Something (vocalist and guitarist), and Mo-T (trumpeter).

The band was formed in early 2011 in Johannesburg when all three future members were at a night lounge and decided to perform together.

A few months later, they released an album titled Micasa Music, which "went gold" quickly and won several awards at the 18th Annual MTN South Africa Music Awards in 2012.

The band has received a lot of praise, attention and recognition since their breakthrough in the late 2011. Their hit single "These Streets" was taken from the album "Mi Casa Music" which showcased their creativity by mixing jazz and house music.

The group seems to be stuck at the top and people love their music worldwide with their latest collaboration with DJ Tira and Big Nuz in a song called "Barman" causing waves.
