Stella Chiweshe
Double Check (2CD)

DCD-PIR1900

A double CD from Stella Chiweshe, one labelled Trance Hits, the other Classic Hits.
Stella Chiweshe became the first PIRANHA recording artist way back in 1987. In Zimbabwe she is called the Grandmother of Traditional Music: a woman of magic and mystery, a healer. On her first double album she walks between worlds.

On TRANCE HITS, a recording Stella created in Zimbabwe, she journeys through the world of her ancestors, preserving their traditions. A mystical album with references to spirits, a policeman possessed by the sounds of the m'bira, and a singing fish, it also includes a song she dreamed her grandmother sang to her. Her singing, drumming and mbira (thumb piano) playing connects the earth with the spirits. There is a startling, stark depth to the music. The drums control the song while Chiwese's Shona vocals float like dreams over the rhythm. But it's certainly not all ethereal.
On CLASSIC HITS she revisits the urban streets in Harare and calls on the younger, westernized generation to take pride in their own culture. Now that is very much of this world! She revisits some of the classic tracks, backed by her vintage band, the Earthquake, and definitely rocks the dance floor. Beyond convention (and quite possibly beyond this world), Chiwese makes music for the feet and the soul.
