Kasahwa: Early Singles brings together eight mesmerizing tracks from Stella Chiweshe, the matriarch of Zimbabwean mbira music, recorded between 1974 and 1983. Renowned for her spiritual and hypnotic sound, Chiweshe’s music honors ancestral traditions while giving voice to the power and resilience of women in a genre once dominated by men.
Available for the first time outside of Africa, these early singles capture the hallmark warmth and vibrance of Chiweshe’s mbira playing and vocals. A landmark release from Glitterbeat, Kasahwa: Early Singles is a rare opportunity to experience the roots of Zimbabwe’s folk and spiritual music through the artistry of one of its most influential figures.
