Nora Chipaumire with Thomas Mapfumo and The Blacks Unlimited
Lions will roar, swans will fly, angels will wrestle heaven, rains will break: gukurahundi
Thursday, April 29, 7:30pm, Northrop Auditorium
Lions will roar, swans will fly, angels will wrestle heaven, rains will break: gukurahundi is dedicated to the visual, aural, and kinesthetic equivalent of Africa's great cities. Self-exiled artist and Bessie Award winner, Chipaumire is known for her brave, transnational work that investigates cultural, political, economical, and technological identities of African contemporary life. Born in Mutare, Zimbabwe, during the Chipurenga Chechipiri (second war of liberation), Chipaumire probes into the heart of her homeland without restriction. Joining her is dancer Souleymane Badolo and master musician and poet Thomas Mapfumo with his band The Blacks Unlimited. For further information contact the Northrop Box Office (612-625-6600) or visit
