Jenaguru Marimba

From Kutsinhira

Jenaguru - Full Moon Marimba

In Zimbabwe, even the very old dance to the spirited rhythms of traditional music! Jenaguru, a 10-member marimba band, draws on the influence of traditional Zimbabwean mbira music to create jubilant dance music on marimbas. From the exuberant Zendekaiwa to the playful Chipindura, the complex melodies and rhythms of the marimbas, vocals and the strong pulse of the hosho and drums stir and inspire the audience.

Jenaguru, a performing ensemble of Kutsinhira, has performed throughout Oregon, including Eugene's First Night, the Eugene Celebration, Saturday Market, the Bach Festival, the Zimbabwean Music Festival, public schools, and for many community events and private celebrations.
