Afrikafestival Hertme 2009 - The Zawose Family

Hukwe Zawose was een van de grootste op het gebied van de traditionele muziek uit Afrika. Het ging de Zawose's voor de wind en de familie breidde fors uit. Het noodlot sloeg echter toe toen Hukwe in 2003 op de leeftijd van 65 jaar overleed aan aids. Nadien stierven nog vele andere familieleden aan dezelfde ziekte. Toch ging de familie door met muziek maken.

"This is it!"What a performance?I feel petrified by these wondeful Gogo artists.What a natural gift these guys possess?Look at what they can produce from their amazing voices and VERY basic music instruments and still beat a lot of expensive GOLIATH musicians.But above all, is how they feel their music and enjoy it to the maximum.These brothers are making quite an inspirational statement here that IT CAN BE DONE!if we all play our part.

I found out about Hukwe last year, and again felt cheated. When I hear this music, ismell the grass, taste the Earth, and feel the oneness of the joyous love. Damn I'm in hell.

The family has kept the tradition of Hukwe Zawose, one of the greatest musicians ever.

@babalisa06 yea dodoma :D

[buddypoppy]

the corpus of classical music is dead next to this beauty.

The 'values' of the West are all too much reflected in our music, most of it sterile and brutal.

The West is dying. And I'm glad.
