Bongo Love

Bongo Love is an Original Roots Afro Reggae Band with an eclectic style who intrigues lovers of many musical genres. Bongo, the front – man, is straight from Zimbabwe and he is known for transporting his crowd to his African world. Bongo began drumming and singing at an early age during traditional ceremonies and these Shona roots gleam through his music. The impact of his original compositions have reached the minds and souls of reputable music promoters such as Roger Steffans,“ of Los Angeles, CA. This is what he had to say in,

"The Beat” Magazine” Vol. 22 #6, 2003, "If you like to move, and who but the dead don't, then I recommend you check out a propulsive and irresistible Bongo Love."

The band is currently at their home base Boulder, CO. studio, working on their next release. This CD is an appealing follow up to” Transcending Parameters”, their 2003 release. Check out the audio tracks, at http://www.bongolove.com or 720.327.3570

Bongo also educates children through his interactive drumming workshops.

Part of our group did work with the Chapungu Exhibit, which opened at the Denver Botanical Gardens in Denver, Colorado and at Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio. The exhibit is featured beautiful stone sculptures from Zimbabwe, Africa. We also have a stone and wood sculptor who sells authentic African carvings and who can do custom carved work for home and community In Africa much learning takes place through drumming, song, storytelling and dance, and survival is dependent upon these skills as well as traditional crafts, which are passed down from the elders. We are offering interactive children’s drumming and song, a dance troupe performance, a master imbira player and a master children’s conductor for workshops and assemblies and we even have a Zimbabwe Band (we are a great moving band which Roger Steffans from “The Beat” magazine wrote, “If you like to move and who but the dead don’t, then I recommend you check out an irresistible and propulsive Bongo Love.”, see bongolove.com). We hope to teach the people of America and the world about our lives through our eyes, fingers, feet, traditions and memories. We are also growing and learning from you so please support us and we can share worlds. We are offering authentic African Presentations, authentic African Music and authentic African Art for children, teens and adults.
