"As vocalist, percussionist and mbira player, Chi's musical gift developed and matured over the years. Chiwoniso Maraire is a bright new star in Africa young, gifted, and full of promise. Her traditional Shona mbira style, which emerges naturally from within her, is overlaid with something that is entirely and uniquely her own, a mellow and sensuous style,
which fuses together the past, present and future."
(Penny Yon)

Today Chiwoniso is a synonym for the best mbira music coming from the younger generation of Zimbabwe.

Chiwoniso's summer tour is organised in co-operation with Afro Project/Africa Festival Wuerzburg.
