Hello,
I write to you from Zimfest 2018 after a super opening ceremony and exhilarating performance by Shamwari Tamba of Boulder. We have a couple of last minute changes to report:
- Guitarist Samuel Mukwedeya has had to cancel his teaching and participation in the festival. His Session 2 workshop Other Instruments: Chemutengure on Guitar will be taught by Zivanai Masango instead.
- Samuel Mukwedeya’s Session 5 workshop Nyamamusango on Guitar is canceled.
- Moyo Rainos Mutamba is having to leave the festival earlier than expected. His Session 7 Beginning Mbira: Chigwaya workshop will be taught by Alois Mutinhiri instead.
- Due to access issues, all workshops scheduled to be taught by Erica Azim in Ackerman 3rd floor lounge, SW corner will be taught in Ackerman 140 instead.
Enjoy the festival!
Claire and the 2018 OC
MyLinda King’s mallets and hosho were left at Zimfest. The University’s Lost and Found in the Office of Campus Safety has them. If anyone is coming to Portland from that direction and has time for a little side trip to Monmouth I would be willing to pay you for your time.
