Description

Mokoomba is quite simply the most impressive band Zimbabwe has produced in recent memory

Banning Eyre - Afro-pop review August 2012

A UK debut for a group that has won awards in Zimbabwe, selected to showcase at WOMEX '12, MOSHITO '12, Sauti zu Busara '13.

Mokoomba caught the ear of ace Cote D'Ivoirian bass maestro and producer Manu Gallo. A veteran of Kiyi M'Bock, Zap Mama, Gallo has released a number of fantastic solo CDs in her own right. She produced their latest album Rising Tide, and her savvy judgment and familiarity with high-end Afropop production help to make every track shimmer.
