Bulawayo djying group, proving to be the hottest quartet of house music DJs

Djembe Monks, a Bulawayo djying group, is proving to be the hottest Djying quartet of house music at the moment as they are the talk of the town with their rare djying exploits.

The group has redefined house djying in the country as the group has come up with a rare djying trend.

The group, which currently riding high on the wave of success, fuses house dj mixing with live percussion playing-a spectacle which is not known prior in the djying industry of the country.

The group plays tribal deep house music mixing it with African percussion instruments which include a djembe, brain stick, congas and cowbells.

The quartet comprises of Khotso Nare (Tortured Drum), Ngqabutho Ncube (Slimza Wa Afrika), Ndumiso Tshuma (Black Cee) and Emmanuel Nkomo (RootzKolosal)
"We dared to be different and we were motivated by the fact that we wanted to produce interactive and live music, music which people can see and interact with while we on stage," said RootzKolosal.

The group is inspired by South Africa's hot shot Motion Black Sounds, however, they have gone a step further as they do their music live on stage.
"We envy South African group Black Motion Sounds but, unlike them, during our performances we play percussions live on stage and this has been our trump card as it has made us the crowd's darling where ever we performed.

When we started this project we were a bit nervous but the response we got from music fans was motivating as even fans in Gweru showed us that they are good receptors to good music," added Black Cee.

The group has produced two singles Spirit of Njelele and Sorrows of Japan and the tracks are already a hit on You Tube and now the they have releasedWhispers of Nyaminyami featuring X-Mile.

Djembe Monks have performed around the city of Bulawayo and in Gweru and they play regularly at Horizon.

The group said soon they will be releasing an album which will feature some of the greats such as Chiwoniso Maraire, Willis Wattafi and South African poet cum musician Ntsiki Mazwai.

Tribal house provides elements of ethnic or indigenous musical percussions, typically conga drums or its synthesized derivative.

Tribal house tracks rely on sophisticated drum patterns for their rhythm as a track can consist of several different drum sounds.
