UK-based Zimbabwean Afropop powerhouse, Que Montana, has officially returned to the music scene — and he’s not just back, he’s on fire. With his sixth studio album, Afrivo Rhythms, the artist once again affirms his place as one of Zimbabwe’s most treasured musical exports. After years of musical silence, many expected a quiet return or perhaps a nostalgic reprise of the past. But instead, Que Montana has dropped what is already being dubbed “a modern-day masterpiece.” Speaking from his home in Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom, the ever-charismatic artist shared that Afrivo Rhythms is not just another album — it’s a soulful offering of his personal journey, memories, and musical evolution.

“This is more than just music to me. It’s a celebration of my roots, my growth, and my passion. Every beat, every lyric carries a piece of my heart,” he said. The album features 11 groundbreaking tracks, including Go Big or Go Home, Kumauro, Sahwira, and Sarura Wako — songs that are already sending ripples through the music industry and across digital platforms. Each track blends rich African rhythms with modern sonic elements, offering a unique sound that’s both nostalgic and future-forward.

A True Musical Visionary

For those unfamiliar with Que Montana’s legacy, he’s no newcomer to the scene. His early days saw him share stages and studios with legends such as Tanga wekwa Sando, Andy Brown, Afrika Revenge, Dudu Manhenga, Sandra Ndebele, and many more. Internationally, he has collaborated with celebrated artists like Chris Aka, Bruno Migliari, and the Mwale Sisters, extending his influence across borders and genres. While many artists lose creative momentum after relocating abroad, Que Montana has defied the odds. His move to the UK has clearly reinvigorated his artistry, pushing him to create what critics are calling his best work yet.

“Afrivo Rhythms feels like the reincarnation of Andy Brown, Don Gumbo, and Tanga Wekwa Sando — all fused with a modern Afropop twist,” said one music critic. “It’s like a sonic time machine with one foot in the past and the other in the future.” In an unexpected but powerful twist, Que Montana has integrated Artificial Intelligence in the mixing and mastering process of the album. This has elevated the quality of production to global standards, offering crisp soundscapes while still retaining the raw authenticity of traditional African music. “I wanted to give people something they’ve never heard before — music that’s clean, modern, yet unmistakably African,” said Que. With plans already underway for a European tour, Que Montana is gearing up to perform at various international festivals, taking Zimbabwean music to the world stage. His trajectory and musical maturity have many comparing him to the legendary Oliver Mtukudzi — not in imitation, but in impact and influence.

Whether you're a long-time fan or a new listener, one thing is certain: Que Montana is back — and he’s redefining what it means to be an African artist in the 21st century.
