WORLD MUSIC FEST 2026 | APRIL 26, 2026
Mbira Renaissance
We are thrilled to host the Mbira Renaissance Band for our first annual World Music Fest! Fusing the traditional mbira instrument of the Shona people of Zimbabwe with guitars, keyboard, and brass instruments, the Mbira Renaissance Band offers a fresh, energetic yet delicately balanced sonic experience. Cyclical and improvisational, the band creates a unique sound with splashes of reggae, Afro-jazz, Chimurenga, and Afro-pop. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the band has been twice nominated for the Edmonton Music Awards and has performed across Canada, Zimbabwe, and the United States. Join the Mbira Renaissance Band and Connessa Collective for an unforgettable night of joy, community and musical storytelling.
