Imbongi
Wed 23rd July 2008
Live and direct from Zimbabwe, Imbongi are an explosive, visually stunning, high-energy fusion of words, song, music and dance. Fronted by Zimbabwean National Poetry Award Winner Albert Nyathi, also known as “the voice of the people”, they are joined on this tour by Maqhinga Radebe (Ladysmith Black Mambazo), South Africa’s King of Maskanda Guitar. On-stage they are an exciting and vibrant blend of Traditional, Blues, Jazz and Contemporary African Music. If you like your African music from the heart, reaching into the depths of your very soul, then Imbongi are the band for you. Bring your dancing shoes!
“They had me dancing away non-stop to their wonderful music and just blew me away!”
