If you want a night of the purest African headcharge out there, do not miss this show, which features two very progressive African bands, Mokoomba and Chimurenga Renaissance. The former is based in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and the latter is based in Seattle, but it features a member, Tendai “Baba” Maraire, who is Zimbabwean by blood. (Maraire is also one-half of Shabazz Palaces.) Mokoomba’s sound is like nothing I have heard before—a swinging mix of Afro pop, Brit pop, American rock and soul, and Jamaican ska. Chimurenga Renaissance’s direction is Afrofuturist. In their music, one hears the ancient ruins of Great Zimbabwe transformed into a spaceship guided by spirits. This show will take you there. by Charles Mudede
