Umdumo Weisizwe - Zimbabwean A’ccapella
At Cottenham Village College, CB8 8UA
"Fresh, young, exuberant and ready to touch the world, the best music outfit to come out of Zimbabwe in recent years” Bulawayo Chronicle
In the tradition and sounds of Ladysmith Black Mumbazo eight young men sing songs of love, hope, worship, courtship, hardship and African social commentary. The group transforms serious themes into joyous and celebratory songs using only the musical energy of bass and tenor voices. Umdumo Wesizwe will mesmerise you with their melding of voices, harmonies and tip-toe dance routines. There is an honesty and integrity in their music that is laced with music styles of Afro Pop, Jazz, R&B, and Reggae with enticing broad appeal. Suitable for a general audience
