The Zawose Queens

The Zawose Queens

Powerful, inventive and fiercely danceable, the music of The Zawose Queens contains spirit and fire. There's the vibrations of the ancestors, coming through on traditional instruments — soaring chizeze fiddle, buzzing illimba thumb piano, ngoma drums that chatter and thunder — and voices that go deep, high and out there. As a liberating ceremony, the Tanzanian duo’s rapturous singing rises in electrifying polyphonic harmony, channeling the spirit of ceremonial dance and natural rhythm, merging organic textures with modern electronic energy.

Venue: TivoliVredenburg
