Thembi Ngwabi talks history in her new production…

I had been witnessing Thembi training a group of young dancers upstairs for a while; now we are in Thembi’s office, and the light is fading quickly outside. Somewhere in the emptying building, you can still hear someone practicing, singing… while Thembi beautifully relates many of her experiences as a women artist. Here she describes to me her new production and especially the history it relates… Thembi Ngwabi was trained as an actress at Amakhosi and also become a well-known bass guitarist during her career; now she’s training young people as the leader of the Amakhosi Performing Arts Academy APAA. http://www.amakhosiculturalcenter.com/academy/ The complete interview with Thembi Ngwabi is archived at: http://archive.org/details/Voices_from_Bulawayo_598 From: http://both-sides-of-the-zambezi.tumblr.com/
