Wanda's Picks Radio Show

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 

1. We open with a conversation with Julia Chigamba, founder and director of the Chinyakare Ensemble and Johnonoh Nyamuzuwe, board member, about the Mitambo Festival of Shona Music featuring Mafaro eZimbabwe and Chinyakare Ensemble at Ashkenaz Music and Dance Center, Friday, February 1, 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM. 

This show is dedicated to Oliver Mtukudzi (Sept. 22, 1952-Jan. 23, 2019)
