Artist Information
Biography
The project proposes a
stage production composed by the fusion of modern
and traditional instruments, acoustic and electrical.
CHENY executes M´BILA and he's backed by Drums,
Bass and Percussion, taking you on a
one-and-a-half-hour musical journey through
the Center South region of Mozambique
(South-East Africa).
The (plural is TIMBILA) is a cultural feature
of the Vachopi people, that hail from the
Gaza and Inhambane regions, and are strongly
present in Zavala, where the artist comes from. A
wooden key instrument of dialogue and unification,
the M´bila represents the political and social
establishment of Vachopi identity and
cultural values among other cultures from the region.
When performed as an Orchestra, the TIMBILA
represent a collective manifestation
of dance, chant, poetry and music with its most
heightened level of intensity during the -
a festival where the various Orchestras play.
Between the immensity of the
Orchestra and the simplicity of his solo work, the
CHENY WA GUNE QUARTET constitutes an open
musical dialogue arena with other artists, allowing
him to collect pieces and interact with new languages.
