Here is a brief bio you can use when describing Mukana Marimba:
Mukana Marimba is Olympia’s premier African marimba band. With a full set of seven marimbas—from medium-sized sopranos to a huge bass—the band plays tasty tunes and rocking rhythms in the tradition of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, Africa—with other fun songs thrown in. Great for dancing or just lifting your spirits!
Here are the current regular members of the band, in alphabetical order. We each play all the marimbas plus shakers! The age range is from teen to 50s. And if you’re curious about the two pairs that share a last name, each is a father and son!
