Grace and Lea are Gogo musicians from the Zawose family. They are known for their work with Msafiri Zawoze, son of the esteemed late Hukwe Zawose who was signed to Peter Gabriels record label 'Real World'. When performing with Msafiri, Lea and Grace will usually play "hour-glass" shaped drums, which are traditionally played by women. Tonight they will be performing Zeze and Marimba which are traditionally only performed by men.
