Biografie van artiest
Donald Kachamba has been attracting attention with his musical virtuosity since his early teens when he was called "the Malawian Mozart". Together with his brother, Daniel (1947--1987), he brought the urban dance music of southern Africa to the global stage as the Kachamba Brothers. Since his brother's death, Kachamba has continued to thrill audiences with his mixture of kwela, sinjonjo, saba-saba, huayani and simanje-manje. Kachamba has toured throughout the world, performing in thirty-three countries in Africa, Europe and the Americas. In addition to performing concerts, he's participated in symposiums and colloquiums on African music. Kachamba will be an artist-in-residence at UCLA's Department of Ethnomusicology from November 1999 until July 2000. ~ Craig Harris
