I saw your ensemble perform at the farmers market in South San Francisco around three weeks ago. All I can say is "AWESOME". I purchased one of your CDs and often listen with a smile. Love the sound of that bass Marimba. Keep up the good work.

Learned about your music from a friend of a friend. I play in a marimba band in the San Juans of Washington State. Hope you will be at Zimfest.
Really enjoyed the clips and will check you out on utube.
thanks

Experienced you yesterday at Worldfest in Grass Valley. In a word – assume, totally totally assume (ok three words). The energy level from everyone was amazing especially in that heat! Bought your CD’s and I’m inspired to attempt building a Marimba and giving it a go!

Great music! We are dancing to it now, and all morning. It is pure bliss. It reminds me of the effervescence of Perrier and very fine Champagne! Thanks for creating and sharing happiness!

We enjoyed very much seeing your band last night at "World Music at the LA Zoo event" and got your CD. Played it when we got home last night and dancing to it this morning. We both love the high level happy energy radiating from the music. Just printed your calendar for this summer and very much looking forward to hear your band again. I would love to videotape a whole show for your band!

Saw the band last night with my wife and toddler son at the Janss Marketplace -- wonderful! So much fun and such wonderful music. We were in front dancing. We first saw you at a festival a year or so ago at Reyes Adobe Park in Agoura Hills. We now have two of your CDs and are big fans. Our son is 3-1/2, and he was rockin'!! We'll try to catch you next month at the Theatricum Botanicum, and bring some friends with us. Best of luck!

I realy enjoyed your music and performance last night at the KCET Music at the Zoo (7/14/09). I bought your new CD. Now, I'd like to buy another of your CD's...like a previous CD. I especially enjoy the blend of voices and rhythms in the Zimbabwean music.I will pass along info about your group to the Director of the Hemet Community Concert Association. Perhaps you will be able to perform here in Hemet.

Sun, 5/31/09, Loved your show at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market! I was in front enjoying the interplay between musicians and the lovely polyphonic complimentary overlay of the instruments. So lively, full of love and life! I could feel the music in my chest and it brought me to tears at times. Bought your latest CD and am looking forward to seeing the band again soon.
Love and Blessings,
Max

Looking forward to seeing/hearing you at Live Oak. I'm pleased to have marimbas on the stage. My quip about Live Oak is that all the groups have strings attached. Now we have a group that hits the bars.
From an Okie who also likes to hit the bars.
See you at Live Oak !!!

Great Website. I direct the Tungurura Marimba Ensemble which is a youth ensemble based out of the Sharon Public Schools in Massachusetts. We play music arranged in the Shona style. Looking at web pages to get ideas and I like this one. Thanks

I wish your CD's were sold in Portugal.
I went to the United States during my summer holidays and in the last day I went to a street with many shops (I don't remember it's name) and your band was playing there! I begged ny father to buy your CD bu he didn't let me...

We saw you this weekend at the santa Monica Farmer's Market and my son loved the music! Zachary is two and loved the chance to play the marimbas during your break. He especially liked the song with a verse something like "no tay oh" and was a bit sad it was not on the cd. Will it be on the next cd?
Thank you for a wonderful morning.

Your music made our day! We were so uplifted at the Hollywood Bowl this morning! Both my kids, 6 and 1 1/2 loved the show so much, my daughter wanted to buy your cd as soon as we saw your table outside!
We played the cd tonight and had our go at the African dance we saw this morning! My son who is not yet 2, spins round and round and shows joy in his own way of moving with his little body.
Your music is so uplifting, we just couldn't get enough!
My 6 yr. old daughter esp. likes track #2: Merenje..it was a thrill for her to hear it again as she remembers this particular song from your show this morning.
If music can be therapeutic, this is a classic example of such revelation!
I also love the energy of all the band-members. You guys look like you were truly having a great time up there! Thanks for sharing the joy! It was infectious!

Just wanted to say that I'm very excited to hear that you will be performing at Moorpark College again this year! Multicultural Day is how I first heard about you guys, and I've been a fan ever since. If either of my performances that day are at the same time as yours I will be heartbroken!
