What is Serevende Marimba?
An African Marimba Band in Madison, Wisconsin
At the center of this group you will find seven African marimbas. One bass marimba, one baritone, two tenors and three sopranos. The group also features drum set and percussion from Brazil, Cuba and West Africa. Flute, sax and guitar are also in the mix.
The music Serevende Marimba performs has roots in Zimbabwe, Africa. How this music and these instruments found their way to North America and how this music developed here is a very interesting tale. We enjoy sharing this story during our performances.
I encourage you to explore the marimba music from Zimbabwe. It’s a beautiful thing.
Cheers,
John
