Global A Go-Go presents:
We will send them back
They call Awa Khiwe “The Village Girl” because she’s from a rural area of Zimbabwe’s Bulawayo province. She raps in Ndebele, her hometown language which is closely related to Zulu, including all the click sounds. This week on Global A Go-Go you’ll hear the first single from her forthcoming debut album, “Zizobuya” (We will send them back), about the southern African custom of lobola or bride-price.
Also this week (Sunday August 11, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): In the first hour, new reggae from Gentleman and H.L.R, a reissue of the first Wailers album from 1971, and current Afro releases by Afla Sackey, The Bongo Hop and Sia Tolno; in the second hour sounds from across southern Africa including Malawi’s Madalitso Band, Sebongile Kgaila from Botswana, Brian Chilala of Zambia and South Africa’s Penny Penny.
