INTOMBI ZOMQANGALA LIVE IN VIENNA

Intombi  Zomqangala is a group of twenty five young women that was formed by Zimbabwean musician /dancer Sandra Ndebele in 2009. It is an advocacy group. The primary aim being to empower young women through song and dance. There is also a focus on preserving Zimbabwean tradition therefore the dances performed by the group are mostly traditional. The name intombi zomqangala comes from a traditional Ndebele instrument called umqangala(breast calabash).which was used by young women back in the days. I had the pleasure to watch the group perform in Vienna Austria on the 23 May 2011. Here are a few impressions of the Show..!

Enjoy.

I spotted Robbie and Marabha from IYASA in the Audience..!
