Marimba band to play at Dahmen

Sesitshaya Marimba Band will play an outdoor concert at Dahmen Barn in Uniontown Aug. 24 at 2 p.m.

Admission for adults will be $8 with children 12 and under are free.

Sesitshaya Marimba Band plays traditional and contemporary songs from Sub-Saharan Africa and shares the lively rhythmic sounds of the sonorous Kwanongoma marimbas of Zimbabwe. Built in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, the marimbas produce the full earthy tones that characterize the music and are the only Kwanongomas in the region. The musicians create a unique, high-spirited musical signature by blending the Kwanongoma sound with marimbas built in the Pacific Northwest. The Sesitshaya Band is now 10 years old and will have CDs for sale at the performance.
