| Music | Albert Nyathi | Zimbabwean |
|
At the heart of Zimbabwean tribal tradition, a praise poet would glorify the royal family, his voice ringing out across the veld at the great clan ‘Indaba’ meetings. Fusing this tradition with contemporary dub poetry, Albert Nyathi fills modern halls with his colourful poetry. A powerful solo performer, Albert also conveys his stories through the pounding beats of a backing band. Through
poetry and percussion, rhyming and rhythm, this act evokes the beating
heart of Africa. |
