Founded by internationally respected percussionist Saidi Kanda, who first made his name with Remmy Ongala’s Orchestra Super Matimila, Mvula Mandondo presents an original concoction of Tanzanian village roots, urban rumba and Afro-Caribbean influences, blending traditional and modern instruments.
Saidi Kanda’s vocal virtuosity accompanied by commanding guitar-driven rhythms will make you move. Alternatively, you may just want to sit back, relax and let strings, thumb piano and harmonies, beats and guitar rhythms wash over you like tropical rain.
That's if you can sit still! 💃🏾🕺🏽
Spanning a versatile range of musical styles, this new music holds a few surprises with new sounds and blends you have never heard before.
Their work is the result of collaboration, bringing Caribbean, Latin, African and European influences for a redefining vision of World music. ✨✨
Nevertheless, they draw upon influences from within Africa. The hypnotic melodies of the thumb piano, the infectious rhythms of the African guitar (zeze), the grooving bass lines and sweet harmonies of the acoustic and tinny guitars will leave you wanting more. 🔥
