Thomas Mapfumo to feature at the February Jazz Feast in North Carolina
Friday, 22 January 2010
African vocalist/musician, Zimbabwean-born, Thomas Mapfumo and his band, Blacks Unlimited, will begin their three-day engagement at Duke University with performances at The Duke (University) Coffeehouse. On February 25, 26 and 27, the same group will be in concert at Reynolds Theater on Duke University's campus with fellow Zimbabwean dancer Nora Chipaumire, who will be appearing here for the first time. Mapfumo and his group have been here before, when they played before a full house at the popular Carrboro, North Carolina, The Cat's Cradle. Their concert with Chipaumire is a collaboration called Moved and will be one of the first times the artist have performed together. This should be quite a treat to not only African music and dance lovers, but to people who have a keen sense of adventure and who like to view the different and unknown, especially art that has substance with an edge.
