(In collaboration with Nether Edge Festival)
Talking Gigs are excited to bring Tanga Pasi Trio to the Nether Edge Festival stage for an evening of exploring Zimbabwe’s musical roots, hearing sweet vocal harmonies, primarily in TjiKalanga, Zulu and English languages, combined with the energy of Zimbabwean rhythms.
Tanga Pasi Trio are:
Sinini Ngwenya - lead singer, songwriter, guitar.
Involved in music and traditional dance from an early age he picked the guitar at a later age but has never put it down since. Sinini draws on African traditional music roots, and reggae, for inspiration and their strong rhythms. His modern compositions reflect these influences.
Kenny Mangena - bass, backing vocals.
A professional musician since 1990, working as a session musician and workshop leader both in Zimbabwe and the UK. Previously with Zimbabwean acapella group U'Zambezi. Has played with Black Umfolosi and other Zimbabwean legends. Kenny has toured extensively across Europe, Southern and Northern Africa
Lucky Moyo – percussion, backing and lead vocals.
Singer, songwriter, a founder of Black Umfolisi, Lucky has toured 49 countries, played with Peter Gabriel and Jimmy Cliff, played for dignitaries Nelson Mandela and Queen Elizabeth II. He’s played famous venues and also small remote rural areas where Lucky works as a Music for Change artist.
​
TalkingGigs events combine a first set Q&A with complementary music, followed by an all music second set.
