We’re in love with this geek-chic styled singer/songwriter and producer from London via Zimbabwe. By his own assertion, he proudly makes guitar music but he also thumbs a mean mbira. Like on this rendition of Zambezi.
You can catch Tinashe supporting the Noisettes on tour from mid this month.
After the jump is another video of Tinashe performing n acoustic version of his soon-come EP Mayday.
It’s out 28 February. Check his blog, artist site and myspace for more details.
Great sounds! Tinashe, I didn't know you're into music too. Wow! you so great.
Wow! This is really refreshing ! It is really inspiring to hear mbira being played like this, in a different genre and with such a harmonious voice . Hope you can inspire some young Zimbabwean brothers and sisters to get in touch with their roots and appreciate native arts and cultural icons like you and those that walked before you. Enough respect Tinashe , Famba Mushe!
Love me some Tinashe. Best of luck my brudda from anutha. We love you back home.
