Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>TWO indigenous musicians Gogo Tfobhi Shongwe and Vusi Sibandze have been invited to perform at the North West University (NWU) next week.
\nThe two will be joined by pianist Cara Stacey who is the University\u2019s senior lecturer in African Music.<\/p>\n

The sounds of indigenous music will be on display. The show dubbed is \u2018Sounds from Eswatini\u2019 and will be held at NWU on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The artists will showcase the beauty of Eswatini indigenous music.
\nGogo Tfobhi Shongwe plays sitolotolo (mouth harp) and makhoyane(musical bow player) while Vusi Sibandze is a guitarist and vocalist.<\/p>\n

He is also a music teacher at Sitsembiso Sebunye High School.
\nThe concert forms part of the North-West University Annual Concert Series.
\n\u201cThe trio brings forward new arrangements of traditional repertoire and newly composed Swazi music from Mbabane, Mshingimshingini and eMphini,\u201d reads the letter of invite.<\/p>\n

The two will leave the country on Monday.
\nSibandze said they were excited about the invitation stating that for them to be recognised by such a reputable institution meant their contribution in the preservation of indigenous music was an honour.<\/p>\n

He said they would deliver their best and represent the country well during the concert.
\nHe further explained that they would also take part in a workshop to be held on Wednesday where the students who deal with music, ecology and anthropology would have a question and answer session with the artists.<\/p>\n

Information<\/p>\n

\u201cThe workshop is for the students to get more information about our indigenous music,\u201d he said.
\nSibandze thanked all the people who supported indigenous music citing Jiggs Thorne of House on Fire as one of those. He said it was through the exposure they had received from House On Fire that they were able to attract the attention of such a reputable institution.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cara Stacey originates from Eswatini and went to Waterford, while the two artists are members of the building of bigger ensemble known as \u2018Bashayi Bengoma\u2019.
\nCara explained that the trio brought forward new arrangements of traditional repertoire and newly-composed Swazi music from Mbabane, Mshingimshingini and eMphini.<\/p>\n

These three multi-instrumentalists showcase a series of indigenous instruments from the small country of Eswatini supported by new vocal and guitar arrangements.
\nGogo\u2019s beautiful and plaintive voice is well-loved across \u201cEswatini and this concert would be a rare opportunity to hear her perform outside of her home country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
