Zimbabwean Singing Workshop with Bruce Ncube – LEIGHTON BUZZARD | |
Vix Voices is delighted to host this event – an amazing opportunity to come and sing with Bruce Ncube, a Zimbabwean artist who specialises in teaching traditional songs from Zimbabwe in 3 to 6-part harmonies.
Bruce’s workshops are inclusive and participatory, and you don’t need to be experienced in singing to take part.
Bruce is running this workshop on Sunday 6th Oct 2024 from 12:30 – 5:30pm, in Linslade Community Hall, 5 minutes from Leighton Buzzard train station.
We’ll have a 30 min break at around 2pm. Please bring a picnic lunch.
The songs and harmonies that he teaches are emotionally charged and uplifting, designed to build participants confidence with singing. His method of teaching is the traditional oral/aural way and is reminiscent of when people would gather around a fire in the evenings, or whilst working in the fields and start weaving harmonies.
Much of Bruce’s recent work involves major festivals & events such as WOMAD, African Drum Village, World Music and Workshop Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Edinburgh Mela, Alrewas Arts Festival, Zimbabwe Heritage Festival Exhibition Milton Keynes…
