Zimbabwean Afropop and Afro-fusion artist Kazz Khalif is set to perform in Malta for the first time on 9 October 2026, following a special invitation from Artbeat Music House.
Kazz Khalif is preparing to take his music to a new audience as he makes his long-awaited debut performance in Malta at the prestigious “MAFA at BIRGU by Candlelight” Fest celebrations, an event that brings together music, culture, history and entertainment in one of the island’s most historic settings.
The invitation comes courtesy of Alec and the team at Artbeat Music House, offering Kazz an exciting opportunity to showcase his original music and connect with audiences beyond his established fanbase in the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe.
Known for his distinctive sound, energetic performances and fusion of Zimbabwean musical influences with contemporary Afropop, Amapiano, Afro-soul and R&B, Kazz has continued to build his reputation as both a recording artist and a live entertainer.
This special appearance marks another important milestone in his musical journey, bringing his sound to Malta for the very first time.
A Celebration of Music, Culture and Heritage
Birgu Fest is one of Malta’s celebrated cultural events, transforming the historic city of Birgu, also known as Vittoriosa, into a vibrant setting for music, arts, food and entertainment.
The festival is particularly renowned for Birgu by Candlelight, a spectacular experience in which thousands of candles illuminate the city’s historic streets, creating a unique atmosphere that celebrates Malta’s rich architectural and cultural heritage.
The 2026 celebrations take place on 9 and 10 October, bringing together visitors and residents for a weekend of cultural activities and live entertainment.
For Kazz Khalif, being invited to perform as part of the celebrations represents an exciting opportunity to share his music in a new international setting and become part of an event that celebrates the power of culture to bring people together.
Taking Zimbabwean Music to New Audiences
With a musical journey spanning more than two decades, Kazz Khalif has built a sound that blends African rhythms, contemporary production and storytelling rooted in his Zimbabwean heritage.
From his early success as part of Bkay & Kazz to his continued development as a solo artist, he has remained committed to creating music that connects with people across generations and borders.
His appearance in Malta reflects his continued ambition to grow his international presence while remaining connected to the music and cultural influences that have shaped his identity as an artist.
Kazz is looking forward to performing his own songs and sharing his musical journey with the Maltese audience, bringing the energy, passion and unmistakable flavour of Zimbabwean music to the occasion.
For Kazz Khalif, this is more than just another performance. It is an opportunity to represent his sound, celebrate his roots and continue taking Zimbabwean music to new audiences around the world.
