About This Show

Back by popular demand, Nobuntu returns to Lakewood for two performances of mbube music featuring songs from the latest album Obabes beMbube (Women of Mbube). The group has drawn international acclaim for its inventive performances that range from a fusion of traditional African songs, Afro jazz, and gospel. The concerts are performed with pure voices, minimalistic percussion, traditional instruments such as the Mbira (thumb piano), and authentic dance movements. Nobuntu was founded in 2011 to address the absence of an all-female professional a cappella group in Zimbabwe.
