Thomas Mapfumo & the Blacks Unlimited

Rock out With the Lion of Zimbabwe

This February, you not only have a chance to jam to fantastic World-music, you get to experience the man who created the genre! How often does that happen? Thomas Mapfumo is called the Lion of Zimbabwe for his significant contributions to its culture and freedom. An outspoken activist, he is known for Chimurenga music and his distinctive vocals. He formed the Blacks Unlimited in 1978 and they’ve been changing the world (literally) ever since. Ashkenaz is the only place you’ll be able to see them, so get to booking now.
