Music from Zimbabwe's mighty Mokoomba

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

The word 'Mokoomba' stems from the deep respect the Tonga people of Zimbabwe have for the Zambezi river which passes through the country. The river inspired not just the name, but also the sound and energy of this six-member outfit, which is one of the most successful bands to come out of Zimbabwe in recent memory. The Âé¶¹Éç's Kim Chakanetsa speaks to them in London. (Photo: Zimbabwean band Mokoomba. Credit: Courtesy of Delicious Tunes.)
