This is Sisitizo LA Amani Duniani (encouraging world peace') by Hukwe Zawose; a #song reflecting on Hiroshima. Dr Hukwe Zawose (1939 or 40-2003) was a well-known #MultiInstrumentalist and #singer from #Tanzania 🇹🇿 and more specifically the Gogo ethnic group; an influence that is clearly present in his #music and #voice. His main #instrument is the Ilimba, a large #lamellophone similar to the #mbira. The music, although simple in form, envelops you as you listen, a cycle that subtly evolves, over which Hukwe's voice rings out to express his thoughts. In other songs, Zawose sings of life in Tanzania; songs that celebrate the ordinary, the mystical, and Tanzanian and African independence.
