Rich voices and exhilarating rhythms
– Sarasota Herald Tribune
Returning to NC State LIVE’s stage by popular demand, Nobuntu, an all-female a cappella quartet from Zimbabwe, thrills audiences with their rich harmonies and a song selection that spans traditional Zimbabwean rhythms to gospel and R&B. Be treated to an evening of pure voices, combined with lively percussion, traditional instruments such as the mbira (thumb piano) and vibrant dancing.
While touring the world, the group remains committed to the idea that defines them. The word Nobuntu is an African concept meaning humbleness, love, purpose, unity and family from a woman’s perspective. The ensemble represents a new generation of young African performers who celebrate and preserve their culture through art, cleverly mixing past and present.
FREE dance class
Together with the Department of Performing Arts and Technology, we’re hosting a free African Dance Class for NC State students, staff, and faculty led by Nobuntu on Tuesday, October 8 at 5:30pm.
