Kolelo

Kolelo

At Kolelo, in Nguu, Tanganyika Territory, Central Tanzania, there is a cave haunted by the spirit of a great mganga who was once a chief in Ukami. The heads of the Wadoe and neighbouring tribes would come there to pray for rain during times of drought. Today, Kolelo is a spiritual haven where the pure come to summon their ancestors.

Kolelo is headed by singer/songwriter/guitarist Adeson Nchimbe. Born in Tingi Village, Tanzania, this spirited musician has been living in Cape Town since 1998. At once a poet, a prophet and a person of the people, Adeson consciously infuses his songs with inter-lingual lyrics and a sense of social responsibility that are sure to move you in more ways than one.
