Zimbaremabwe

Meet Zimbaremabwe and Linos Wengara and get a flavour of Zimbabwe.

Arts Council England South East

Oneliner: Spirited mbira music based on Zimbabwean traditions.

Linos Wengara was introduced to the mbira and its spiritual traditions through his uncle- a healer from the Negombwe tribe, in the West of Zimbabwe. 

Now based in Brighton, Linos now fronts Zimbaremabwe- who play contemporary and traditionally based music at festivals and concerts as far afield as Stockholm, Sweden and Edinburgh.

All of these artists have been selected via BBC Southern Counties Radio’s new music show South:Live - which, in partnership with the Arts Council of England, is committed to supporting emerging music of all styles.
