About the Artist:
Zivanai is an award-winning musician, audio engineer, producer, and music educator. Born in Harare into an extended family of master musicians deeply involved in traditional mbira and brass band music cultures, he was immersed in diverse music traditions and performances from a very early age. Zivanai’s Covid-era Basement Studio Sessions have become a sensation on social media, reinforcing him as one of the leading Zimbabwean musicians of today. In Boulder, he's well-known as the frontman for the popular Afrofusion band ZiMBiRA (which has performed with the Cultural Caravan every season since 2021). Don't miss this opportunity to hear his almost unbelievable life story, from Harare to Boulder!
