Chikomo Marimba

A Zimbabwean-style marimba ensemble from Asheville plays an outdoor midday set on the brewery meadow. The group uses soprano, tenor, baritone and bass marimbas built from local hardwoods, and its repertoire mixes traditional Shona melodies with newer African-inspired rhythms. Expect danceable, percussion-driven music.
