Dancing Afro-jazz, extraordinary combinations of Southern African sounds and musicians, mellowed in the clubs and festivals of Zimbabwe over 10 years, with powerful vocals, driving horns and exquisite guitar work: sweet & sunny, wistful & haunting.
Bio / Background
mhepo is a Shona word meaning 'breath, wind, spirit'.
The band mhepo was formed in 1990 by trumpet and keyboard player Nigel Samuels and saxophonist Biddy Partridge. The late Mike Mokone, world-renowned guitarist from Amandla - the cultural wing of South Africa's ANC - joined in 1993 and helped mhepo establish itself as one of Zimbabwe's top live bands.
Bass player Stan Zimi, a founder member of mhepo and one of Zimbabwe's most influential musicians, passed away in late 2000. Mike Mokone passed away in Pretoria in August 2002, and the deaths of these two key members of the band are deeply mourned. mhepo honours also the memory of the many other fine musicians who contributed so much to the music and are no longer with us: Marcello Maisha, Andrew Chakanyuka, Nomvula Mazantsi, Tsitsi Vera, Sugar Chiweshe.
mhepo's musicians are drawn from all over Southern Africa and the chemistry of these diverse musical accents creates a fresh, unique sound.
mhepo has two albums to its credit.
