SUMMARY:THE ZAWOSE QUEENS
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Jul 16\, 2025 \nDoors 7:30pm \nAdvance Tickets $15 – $28 plus fees. Sorry no minors. 19+ only. \nBuy tickets here: https://caravanbc.com/events/the-zawose-queens-from-tanzania/ \nThere is spirit and fire in the music of The Zawose Queens\, coming direct from Tanzania! 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. There’s the connection to nature\, to ceremony and ritual\, in their dance-inspired fusion\, their blend of the organic\, harmonic and modern-day electronic. There are lyrics that tell\, in their native kigogo\, of the passion for music\, the wonders of life. Of pride in environment\, in tradition. In their East African roots.\nPendo and Leah Zawose showcase the fluid polyrhythms and rapturous polyphonic singing of the Gogo (aka Wagogo) people of the arid\, hilly Dodoma region of central Tanzania. The most famous exponent of this musical tradition is the late\, great Dr Hukwe Zawose (Pendo’s father and Leah’s grandfather).\nMaisha\, the debut album by The Zawose Queens\, marks the first time that women from this famous musical family take their place as lead vocalists and performers. The resulting collection of songs range from the stripped back and traditional-sounding to those treated with subtle electronic elements\, with beats and drops and found sounds and switch-ups.
