Mbira. Punk. Hope And Optimism In Spite of Present Difficulties.

Our last @Chikwata263 rehearsal for our show tomorrow: 7pm at Ela the garden if you're in Harare and looking for a good time!

Mbira-punk legends @Chikwata263 will be rocking out (in a relaxed and responsible manner) in Newlands this afternoon. Maybe see you there?

This is more than just the story of a band. It's an attempt to find and give words to that living thread that binds moments and hearts and places. Me, on @Chikwata263, for @africasacountry:
