MOKOOMBA:
The Next Generation of Zimbabwean Hope
Exuberant youthful energy bursting with natural talent and contagious rhythm, Mokoomba’s story is one of diversity and perseverance. Despite coming from one of Zimbabwe’s smallest rural villages, singing in a language foreign to even their countrymen, these six young men have never been deterred from their dream of making music.
Mokoomba combines traditional and modern instruments with a rich blend of rhythms, preserving the vibrant sound of traditional Tonga music while embracing the diverse cultures of southern Africa. They are the 2008 winners of the InterRegional Festival, the annual competition sponsored by Music Crossroads for musicians under age 25 in southern Africa, and will bring their electrifying mix of Afro-fusion energy and tantalizing traditional Tonga beats to stages across Europe in Summer 2009.
