Details:
Mukonde weSadza ("A serving of Sadza") is the first CD release by the Santa Cruz, California band Sadza. It features arrangements of traditional and contemporary Zimbabwean music for marimba, karimba, mbira, hosho and drum, with vocals sung in the Shona language.
Sadza was formed in 2000 and has performed at the Zimbabwean Music Festival, Cabrillo Music, Art and Wine Festival, Jazz at the Aquarium, and many other events. We have opened for Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited, as well as the Chinyakare Ensemble featuring Julia Chigamba. Members performing on this CD are Lola Britton, Kim Dowling, Joe Keefe, Becca Moeller, Michael Perkins, Ryder Webb and Betty Weiss.
Sadza Marimba and Mbira Band is grateful to our supportive audiences and the people of Zimbabwe for sharing their music and culture and for their friendship. Peace, love and hominy!
"Layer upon layer of interlocking rhythms will feed your imagination and nourish your soul. The Santa Cruz-based group Sadza, named after the staple food of Zimbabwe, uses marimbas and mbiras to bring listeners to a dancing frenzy. Sadza''s driving beats and synchopated phrases will appeal to a cross-section of musical tastes, satisfying everyone from punks to jazz buffs. The music is rooted in the ancient spiritual traditions of the Shona people, and a legacy of energy, ecstasy and musical mastery continues."
Claire O''Connor, Good Times Santa Cruz
"If you''ve ever seen the marimba group downtown pounding out a lively and uplifting mix of traditional Zimbabwean tunes, then you''ve already heard Sadza...unplugged. Their recent performance opening for Thomas Mapfumo featured amplified vocals and mbiras (traditional Zimbabwean thumb piano), oh-so-sweetly accompanying the driving rhythms of the mini marimba orchestra. Expect plenty of dance-floor action when this local group of percussionists performs."
Mike Connor, Metro Santa Cruz
