Dahmen books

marimba band

Dahmen Barn at Uniontown will present the Sesitshaya Marimba Band in an outdoor concert Saturday, Aug. 19, from 7 to 9 p.m.

The 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, they produce the full earthy tones that characterize the music and are the only Kwanongomas in the region.

They also play music from South Africa, Kenya, Zambia and the Caribbean Islands.

The band began in 2003 under the direction of Zimbabwean Tendekai Kuture and continues under Tendai Muparutsa.
