Band Info/Notes:

 

Hailing from Zimbabwe, Chiwoniso is a voice of hope for a society in crisis. She melds the conventional and modern, sings in English and different African languages and uses contemporary instruments and traditional African instruments in her ensemble. Chiwoniso’s musical influences range from soul and R&B to reggae and rock, and the sounds of the mbira (a wooden board with metal keys attached) serve as a central underpinning for her songs. A devoted advocate of free speech, human rights and social justice, Chiwoniso’s music gives voice to the problems and joys of the world around her.
