HEAR THE WORLD (repeat)   A performance by the Zimbabwean singer Chiwoniso and her band Culture Vibe. Chiwoniso accompanies her songs with the thumb piano. Her music is a mixture of traditional and modern influences, a wonderful combination of rhythms and melodies from the Zimbabwean Shona culture with soul, reggae and blues elements. Singer Atongo Zimba from Ghana accompanies himself on the molo, a two-stringed calebash banjo. His voice is raw and bluesy and the music is a swinging fusion of traditional Ghanaian music with Afrobeat, jazz and funk.
Hear the World is presented by Dheera Sujan
