Mokoomba - Trailer for their upcoming album "Luyando"

Details

Description

Luyando is the self-produced third album by Zimbabwe’s most celebrated young band Mokoomba. The success of ‚Rising tide‘ and their incredible live energy led Mokoomba to tour over 40 countries worldwide, including performances at Roskilde festival (Denmark), WOMAD festival (UK), Couleur Cafe festival (Belgium), Sziget festival (Hungary) and Gnawa festival (Morocco). At home in Zimbabwe, Mokoomba has become one of the most popular bands, playing with such icons as Hugh Masekela and Baaba Maal at the annual Harare International Festival of the Arts.

Njawane is a traditional luvale song, which invokes the Chewa people traditional masquerade Gule and its rhythms. It is also an instruction about hunting for food and for predators, which threaten their homes and livestock. The young hunters are instructed, that when you are on a hunting expedition in the bush you need to have your wits about you. If you chance to meet a pride of lions, do not run or act fearful, look them straight in the eye and walk backwards and you will live.
