Hope

Hope Masike is a talented young vocalist and mbira player, whose music

delivers a positive message and uplifting beats.  Hope's use of

traditional acoustic instruments, including the marimba and

nyunganyunga mbira, draws upon the musical legacy established by

pioneering Zimbabwe female musicians such as Chiwoniso Maraire.  Her

fresh sound and beautiful voice, however, are uniquely her own.

Combining catchy mbira-based rhythms combine with irresistible drum patterns and the interlocking melodies of the marimba and recorder, Hopes’s band is one of the most exciting new voices in Zimbabwean music today.  They have also toured internationally with the collaborative musical project Umoja.
