Kutandara
Kutandara fuses ancient African music traditions with indie-pop, rock, jazz, gospel, classical, and world folk influences. Their exuberant and hi-energy polyrhythmic performances manage to be innovative and deeply-rooted at the same time. Kutandara means to come together and have a good time, which is the group’s purpose as they exchange energy of music and movement with their audiences. Kutandara has performed at the Boulder and Aggie Theaters, Boulder Creek Festival, Colorado Performing Arts Festival, and many other festivals and concert series around the front range.
Kutandara Kombi
3 marimbas, electric mbira, drum set, hosho, guitar, vocals
Kutandara Kombi is our “little” band (just like a kombi is a little bus…or mini van…in developing countries). Our footprint is smaller, our instrumentation is scaled down, but you won’t miss the big sound. Audiences will hear drum set, electric mbira, guitar, electric bass, and percussion along with a 3-piece marimba trio in a Kutandara Kombi concert. Kutandara Kombi plays a mix of traditional Shona mbira tunes, contemporary Zimbabwean pop songs, and an eclectic variety of current top forty jams.
Kutandara Marimba
7 marimbas…straight up!
Kutandara Marimba is our professional 7-piece marimba House Band, including bass, baritone, tenor, alto, and soprano marimbas. The sound is pure marimba, as it is taught and performed in Zimbabwe. This is our signature marimba band! If marimba is the sound you are looking for, Kutandara Marimba is your band!
Kutandara Marimba Experience
7 marimbas, drum set, hosho, vocals…and more!
Kutandara Marimba Experience is our biggest sound, with a stage full of musicians. Audiences will hear drum set, electric mbira, guitar, electric bass, and percussion along with the 7-piece marimba orchestra in a Kutandara Marimba Experience concert. You never know what will happen!
