Description
Occcidental Brothers Dance Band Int’l, a Chicago trio that specializes in a potent mix of Ghanaian highlife and African jazz, comes to New York with a famous guest, legendary Congolese vocalist Samba Mapangala. Sharing the bill is Zimbabwean singer Chiwoniso, daughter of the late Dumisani Maraire, and a renowned musician and scholar who backs her soulfully intense pipes with hypnotic swirls of mbira, the metal-keyed thumb piano chararacteristic of her nation's Shona culture.
