Willom Tight and Adam Chisvo will begin the promotion of their new
albums with shows at Book Café and Mannenburg on Tues 9 December.
Willom Tight has completed production of his new album Kuzangoma, a
ten track offering which showcases Willom's dynamic vocals, backed up
by some of Zimbabwe's finest musicians including contributions on the
guitars from Andy Brown, Clive Mono' Mukundu and a special feature
track involving a collaboration between Willom and Oliver Mtukudzi on
the track Dzokai Waro.
This album is dedicated to Willom's fans who have eagerly awaited the
release of his latest offering – it has been 7 years since Willoms last
release Ndinoda Wangu – and the songs on Kuzangoma are expected to
showcase the progress made during the long wait.
Mbira fusion maestro Adam Chisvo will also be releasing his album
Famba Pore Pore an eleven track album of Adam's compositions; he
has teamed up with producer and keyboardist Bengt Post of Thulani
Studios to produce an album which features Busi Ncube on backing vocals
and Sam Chagumachinyi on drums.
Adam has been associated with many of Zimbabwe's most progressive
musical groups, including Ilanga, Andy Brown and the Storm and a long
partnership with mbira songstress Chiwonso Maraire. His mbira and
percussive talents have featured on numerous recordings – the album
Famba pore pore is Adam's first solo album.
Both album were recorded at Thulani Studios and will be released by Thulani Promotions in December 2008.
