I went to Zimbabwe! [Performances with Alick Macheso, Sulu Chimbetu & Nicholas Zakaria]

Here are some moments from my recent trip to Zimbabwe. The purpose of my visit was simple - to soak up as much sungura music as possible. Needless to say, I had the BEST time, rubbing shoulders with my favourite artists. Big thanks to everyone who supported!
Crank up those speakers or put on your headphones 🎧 and enjoy! 😊

This music is so beautiful!!! Wow what a treasured find! The musicians are red-hot, man! I have studied extensively music from the Middle East, North Africa, Southern and Eastern Europe, the Indian subcontinent and Saharian Africa, and I didn’t know this type of music. I shall need to investigate further..The guitars’sounds are beautiful and the bass player who plays at the gig is dynamite!

Eirik you really amazed me about how good you were at that show with Alick Macheso. Man you smashed it . I didn't somewhere in Europe there is a white man who is captivated by our Sungura music let alone being able to play the guitars so effectively. That was a bomb.
