DJEMBE MONKS

Djembe Monks, a Bulawayo djying group, is proving to be the hottest Djying quartet of house music at the moment as they are the talk of the town with their rare djying exploits.
The group has redefined house djying in the country as the group has come up with a rare djying trend.




The quartet comprises of Ndumiso Tshuma (Black Cee),Emmanuel Nkomo (RootzKolosal),Khotso Nare (Tortured Drum) and Ngqabutho Ncube (Slimza Wa Afrika).
“We dared to be different and we were motivated by the fact that we wanted to produce interactive and live music, music which people can see and interact with while we on stage,” said RootzKolosal.
The group, which currently riding high on the wave of success, fuses house dj mixing with live percussion playing-a spectacle which is not known prior in the djying industry of the country.
The group plays tribal deep house music mixing it with African percussion instruments which include a djembe, brain stick, congas and cowbells.

The group has produced two singles Spirit of Njelele and Sorrows of Japan and the tracks are already a hit on You Tube and now the they have releasedWhispers of Nyaminyami featuring X-Mile.
The group said soon they will be releasing an album which will feature some of the greats such as Chiwoniso Maraire, Willis Wattafi and South African poet cum musician Ntsiki Mazwai.

They are still working on an album that is yet to be released before the end of the year *date to be notified*.
They also did a remix of the  Hit "Bhachi" which is a Banger in most South African Clubs and Most Radio Stations, The track Bhachi was done by a local dance group from Bulawayo called "Kwabatsha" and was remixed by Mash "O". They"ve also worked with the local RAP-WIZARDS "KASI LUNATICS" on a tribal track called 'sazojaiva lamaDjembe'.
