Jeff Brahe ’11 and Andé Marimba offer a fresh perspective on the ancient sounds of traditional music from Zimbabwe. Combining marimba, mbira, drum, and hosho with an occasional Western instrument, the band’s songs include traditional and contemporary compositions. Add to this foundation a variety of modern influences, and you have an irresistible, highly danceable blend of sound.
