Beyond the melodies and harmonies, this event is a testament to the vital role of the arts in society. Nyoni emphasised that music and creative expression are not just forms of entertainment but essential contributors to mental well-being and cultural continuity.
“Art is the heartbeat of our culture, and its appreciation reflects the health of our society,” he said. “By encouraging engagement with the arts, we promote mental well-being, which ultimately translates into healthier communities.”
