The Zawose Queens

The Zawose Queens stand out as a vital force in the global music landscape, bringing the rich musical traditions of Tanzania to international audiences. With deep roots in the genres of African blues and traditional pop, their artistry resonates through hypnotic rhythms, layered harmonies, and authentic vocal delivery. Their repertoire features standout recordings such as "Chidodo", "Fahari Yetu", and "Sauti Ya Mama", alongside powerful live renditions that capture the communal spirit and dynamism of East African music.

Following the critically regarded release of their album "Maisha" in June 2024, The Zawose Queens continue to expand their creative reach, infusing contemporary flourishes into classic Tanzanian forms. Their knack for bridging tradition and innovation is further exemplified by the single "Mapendo" and a live EP, "Moja Kwa Moja", anticipated for release in October 2025. The group’s music serves as both a cultural celebration and an invitation for global listeners to experience the sounds of the Tanzanian heartland.

Live music enthusiasts in the United Kingdom can look forward to seeing The Zawose Queens headline at The Ferret in Preston in June 2026—a testament to their growing reputation on the international concert stage.
