Sinini Ngwenya of Tanga Pasi

Tanga Pasi began in 2009 in the Kalanga-speaking western corner of Zimbabwe, as a community project. The band involves a wide collective of different musicians, working with core founding members, Sinini (Zimbabwe) and Pamela (UK), who are now based in Germany.

Tanga Pasi has the purpose of uplifting and inspiring positive change. Their sound offers a harmonic fusion of Kalanga folk songs, Ndebele rhythms and catchy Afro-pean melodies. They are a highly original act with wide appeal.
In 2010 and 2012, they won the regional rounds of the Chibuku Road to Fame competition and represented Matebeleland South. They performed regularly in Bulawayo, Plumtree and across venues in KwaZulu-Natal. Festival performances include the Victoria Falls Carnival (Zimbabwe), Bassline Africa Day Festival (SA), and MTN Bushfire (Swaziland), Greenpop (Zambia), Weekend for Tolerance and Treppenkeller Hinterhöfe (Germany).
