From Zimbabwe, Mokoomba brings an exuberant energy to pan-African music with a unique mix of funk, ska, soukous, salsa, and Afro-Cuban music. Pulling in influences from South Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, and Jamaican dancehall, the band plays a driving, soaring set of electric numbers creating infectious, enjoyable and extremely danceable music.
Global Arts Live will be presenting a prerecorded Mokoomba concert facilitated by Cultural Connections Africa (CCA) through their Sounds From Africa series. Sounds From Africa was created as a direct response to COVID-19 in order to help foster communication and cultural awareness in a time of isolation. Donations made at globalartslive.org/mokoomba will be shared between Mokoomba, Global Arts Live, and CCA’s enterprises in cultural development on the African continent.
