Indie Alma, a Zambian youth-led record label, held their second Indie Winter Music Show at Woodlands Ash Lodge on Ash Road, Lusaka.
The outdoor acoustic session provided warm, soothing music complemented by hot beverages sponsored by Kawa Nubian Coffee. Revival chants of "Indie Alma! Real Talent!" initiated by the Master of Ceremony, Kimberly, added to the vibrant atmosphere.
The show featured introductory performances by first-time Indie Winter Music Show artists, Chipo and Heskey ZM. Chipo performed a cover of a TikTok audio sensation, accompanied by Ash Nine on the guitar, an artist under Indie Alma and member of the band, Radio 64. Heskey ZM impressed with his original track inspired by heartbreak, titled "Make Up."
Other artists who graced the stage included Tauya, Weily, Waza, Vil3n, Sunshine, Timotheus, Milton, and Mak Jamie, with Joshua on the keyboard and guitar support from Weily's Guitars. The artists interchanged roles each set to support the performing artist, serving as vocalists, instrumentalists, or chief supporters in the crowd.
The final performance was orchestrated by the band, Radio 64. Draped in Thirteen designer clothing, they dedicated a song to one of their members, Tauya, and closed with an original track titled "Blue." The supportive crowd pleaded for more, resulting in an encore.
While every show must come to an end, the Indie Winter Music Show concluded with a playlist on rotation as attendees mingled, shared anecdotes, and bid farewell to fellow attendees and the artists.
For an unpopular genre in Zed Music, Indie Alma has created a growing indie community since their humble beginnings in 2020 and official social media presence since 2021. Indie Alma set up an impeccable line-up for their second edition of the Indie Alma Winter Music Show, featuring what might be considered underground talent, but soon to be mainstream artists.
Indie Alma's flagship shows will continue to support independent artists by creating spaces for them to perform and grow through events like the Indie Winter Music Show and their upcoming shows, Indie Worship and Indie Summer Music Show.
