Nobuntu

November 2 update: online sales are now closed, but tickets will be available at the door!

Nobuntu is an all-female a cappella ensemble from Zimbabwe that has drawn international acclaim for its inventive performances ranging from traditional Zimbabwean songs to Afro Jazz to Gospel. Their concerts are performed with pure voices, augmented by minimalistic percussion, traditional instruments such as the Mbira (thumb piano) and organic, authentic dance movements.

In the last few seasons, the ensemble has performed at festivals and concert halls in Italy, Austria, Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic and throughout the African continent. Their first tour to Canada in 2016 included performances in Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Victoria.

For Sunday’s concert, Nobuntu will be performing as a trio, featuring vocalists Duduzile Sibanda, Zanele Manhenga and Thandeka Moyo.

The word Nobuntu is an African concept that values humbleness, love, unity and family from a woman’s perspective. The ensemble represents a new generation of young African women singers who celebrate and preserve their culture, beauty, and heritage through art. The ensemble’s mission is the belief that music can be an important vehicle for change, one that transcends racial, tribal, religious, gender and economic boundaries.
