This year's OneBeat theme – Musical Migrations – invites fellows to collaboratively write music that reflects on how large movements of people have shaped music, and how music-making can encourage dialogue, community resilience, and rootedness amidst displacement and upheaval. OneBeat's wonderfully eclectic cohort of 2016 fellows includes a Zimbabwean mbira player and vocalist, a provocative Sao Paulo-based sound artist, a Muscovite gusli player, a virtuosa darbuka player from Istanbul, a soul singer from Seattle, and 21 other incredible artists.
Join OneBeat musicians who specialize in percussion and mbira (thumb piano) to learn about songs and rhythms from their home country of Zimbabwe.
