THE ZAWOSE QUEENS 20.06.26 @ NEUADD OGWENMae ysbryd a thân yng ngherddoriaeth The Zawose Queens. Ceir dirgryniadau’r hynafiaid yn dod drwodd ar offerynnau traddodiadol — y ffidil chizeze sy’n esgyn, yr illimba (piano bawd) sy’n suo, a drymiau ngoma sy’n clecian ac yn taranu — a lleisiau sy’n mynd yn ddwfn, yn uchel ac ymhell y tu hwnt. Ceir cysylltiad â natur, â seremoni a defod, yn eu cyfuniad wedi’i ysbrydoli gan ddawns, eu cymysgedd o’r organig, y cytgordol a’r electronig cyfoes. Ceir geiriau sy’n adrodd, yn eu hiaith frodorol Kigogo, am angerdd dros gerddoriaeth, rhyfeddodau bywyd. Am falchder yn eu hamgylchedd, yn eu traddodiad. Yn eu gwreiddiau Dwyrain Affrica.
-----------------------------------------------
There is spirit and fire in the music of The Zawose Queens. There’s the vibrations of the ancestors, coming through on traditional instruments — soaring chizeze fiddle, buzzing illimba thumb piano, ngoma drums that chatter and thunder — and voices that go deep, high and out there. There’s the connection to nature, to ceremony and ritual, in their dance-inspired fusion, their blend of the organic, harmonic and modern-day electronic. There are lyrics that tell, in their native kigogo, of the passion for music, the wonders of life. Of pride in environment, in tradition. In their East African roots.
