Sounds of Harare
Each sound has its own page: what it is, its tempo where a source gives one, where it comes from and who carried it.
The scene
Only one thin lead: Wikipedia's Afro house article lists singer Jackie Queens as founder of the Bae Electronica label. RA's Zimbabwe page returned no listings, and no Harare club scene could be sourced.
GreedySouth (Jun 2026) reports a steady rise in women DJs and says Harare's house scene has recently grown past a ceiling it hit a few years ago.
