Add or read comments
Mokoomba is an ebulliant young band from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe making a big splash on the international scene with an electrifying blend of Afro-rock, traditional sounds and lots more.
They're on the road now in support of an excellent new album, Luyando (Out | here Records).
Mokoomba's US tour includes a stop at The Falcon up in Marlboro NY on Wednesday night May 17th. After hitting a few more clubs and festivals stateside including the The LEAF Festival in Black Mountain, North Carolina and the Joshua Tree Music Festival in California later this month, they'll be storming the vaunted European summer festival circuit.
But first - with huge thanks to our illustrious engineers Manny Yupa and Bobby Shock (of Crust!) plus Alison Loerke of ALIA Productions and Tom Pryor - we're thrilled to bring Mokoomba to the Garden State airwaves for tonight's live WFMU session!

Background (from the WMI event page):
Shujaat Khan is a sitar virtuoso whose musical pedigree extends seven generations. He is the son and disciple of the great sitarist Ustad Vilayat Khan, nephew of Imrat Khan, and a member of one of the oldest and most prestigious musical families and schools of India – the Imdadkhani Gharana of Etawah. Khan was the featured artist at musical concerts celebrating India’s 50th anniversary of independence at Carnegie Hall, Paramount Theatre in Seattle, and Meyers Symphony Theater in Dallas. The Rain, an album featuring Shujaat Khan and the Indo-Persian Ghazal ensemble, was nominated for a Grammy Award for “Best Traditional World Music Album”. For this concert, he will be joined by Samir Chatterjee on tabla.
