nora chipaumire nherera

An idea - a proposition - made possible by an assembly of people with the love and desire to make sound together.

nherera means without lineage! No art school! No traditions! Getting by on one's wit.

A sound "off" the beaten path — a sound that holds no promises beyond this moment together — familiar yet unfamiliar.

The joy of making with others - unorthodox worldviews - fueled by the fatigue of poverty and extractive nature of contemporary cultures — nora chipaumire and friends refuse the "norm".

Working when it is possible, dreaming when it is not.

  • nora chipaumire - vocals
  • Othnell "Mangoma" Moyo- drums and vocals
  • Fatima Katiji - percussion and vocals
  • Alfred Mehnert - percussion
  • Gilbert Zvamaida - guitar
  • Dave Gagliardi - guitar
  • McIntosh "SoKo" Jerahuni - mbira and vocals
