A rollercoaster ride of raw Afrofusion energy !
MOKOOMBA brings audiences an electrifying blend of Afro-fusion and tantalizing traditional Tonga rhythms. The name MOKOOMBA stems from the deep respect that the Tonga people have for the Zambezi River and for the vibrant life that it brings to their music and culture. This exciting Tonga group from Zimbabwe certainly has a unique sound that is set to take the world music scene by storm !
Some of the feed-back !! :
“Their new CD, Rising Tide is a splendid document. The music is strong, modern, rooted in Africa & spiked with the spice of Latin, soukous, reggae, palm wine and other influences. The production too is superb. Manou Gallo becomes one of that rare breed in music, a woman who produces an album for a man or an all male group. Mokoomba are from Zimbabwe. They are comprised of 6 young men, in their twenties perhaps. The lead singer’s voice is a strong instrument, masculine, with a hint of a rasp. He doesn’t decorate his melody lines with lots of noticeable technique but no one listing can doubt his capacity to deliver exciting, rousing vocals…… All in all, I’m very excited for the prospects for this group & I hope they go far.
Enjoy the music.”
