This Zimbabwean/American artist is a delicious female vocalist & songwriter who is backed by mbira, guitars, percussion, horns and other wonderful sounds. Her voice is soulful, soaring, warm, lyrical and powerful and the music is fresh and captivating. Everything is so good. This one is delicious!

3. Upbeat mbira, driving vocals, funky horns…damn!
4. Sweet, midtempo and joyful, opens w/vox & mbira, then picks up.
5. Relaxed w/vox, piano, perc, guitars, mbira. Wonderful.
