Info
Born into one of Tanzania’s revered musical dynasties, the Zawose Queens carry spirit and energy in their music.
A celebrated figure in this lineage is the late Dr Hukwe Zawose, Pendo’s father and Leah’s grandfather, who brought Gogo music to global stages.
Rooted in the traditions of the Wagogo people, Pendo and Leah channel ancestral energy into a sound that moves between the organic and the electronic, weaving polyrhythmic ceremony with subtle beats and modern textures, with rich harmonies.
Sung in their native Kigogo, their lyrics honour a passion for music, the wonders of life, and pride in their East African roots.
Maisha, their debut album, marks the first time women from this family step forward as lead vocalists and performers.
The Zawose Queens perform at Jazz Cafe on 5 August 2026 at 6:00 pm.
