Zimbabwe on my mind ...
Zimbabwe has been on my mind quite a bit recently. I sincerely hope that peace, stability, and prosperity can be brought to that nation. I was listening to Bob Marley's song Zimbabwe the other day just to give myself a little hope followed by a listening to his song Africa Unite.
To bolster more hope concerning Zimbabwe and to put some positive energy in the air regarding the country, I was happy to see a flyer at the Flying Star on Silver today announcing an upcoming ABQ concert that will feature a local band I discovered last summer called Wagogo. I previously blogged about Wagogo here. Wagogo is a locally based band here in Albuquerque that delves into the music of Zimbabwe, featuring lyrics in Shona and prominent use of the mbira which is so much a part of music from Zimbabwe. Wagogo will be hosting a performance in ABQ on SUNDAY, JUNE 8, 2-6 PM along with Mawungira Enharira, a musical group directly from Zimbabwe at the VSA/North 4th Theater, 4904 Fourth Street NW. More info can be gleaned here.
This should be an uplifting show!
