COLORADO DATES SCHEDULED
FREE LIVE CD AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD
 Panjea |
Musical and spiritual journeyman Chris Berry alongside Michael Kang and the multi-cultural ensemble Panjea have booked a run of Colorado dates in Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins . Uniting people through music, Panjea’s powerful groove and socially conscious message garnered major success throughout Southern Africa, selling out stadiums and over a million records.
Panjea is also offering a free live CD hosted on their website, where you can sign up for their newsletter and then receive instructions for download. This is a full-length CD compiled from various festivals performed at this summer.
Rooted deeply in African culture, Panjea's revolutionary mix of indigenous music, dance hall and hip-hop has earned the band immeasurable success throughout Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Chris Berry’s tireless dedication and profound skill has led him to become one of the first Westerners to be accepted among the mbira (thumb piano) masters as one of their own. In addition to Berry (vocals, mbira and djembe), Panjea features Danny Sears (trumpet), Jon Stewart (sax), Brazilian Girls' Aaron Johnson (drums), Patrice Blanchard (bass), SCI's Michael Kang (mandolin) and guitarist Zivanai Masango from Zimbabwae.
Following the edict to make a difference here, Chris Berry & Panjea preach the positive message of hope, justice and peace through infectious cultural rhythms and danceable beats. Contributing to Amnesty International, Flyways and their own Panjea Foundation for Cultural Education, the group in their own right, has become a non-profit organization.
The run of dates starts with an intimate show at the B Side Lounge in Boulder followed by a special Halloween show supporting Leftover Salmon at The Fillmorein Denver. Afterwards, Panjea will announce another intimate late night performance directly after The Fillmore show before wrapping up on November 6 at the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins.
