Song for Zimbabwe: music by Antonio Forcione - lyrics by Chiwoniso Maraire

It showcases his compositions in collaboration with local musicians who, together, evoke a joyous, spiritually beguiling homage to a continent still going through immense change. Collaborating with Antonio on this album, along with his successful quartet artists (Jenny Adejayan, Adriano Adewale, Nathan Thomson) are such greats as Chiwoniso Maraire (Zim),Zamo Mbutho (SA), Juldeh Camara (Gambia),  Seckou Keita (Senegal), Enzo Zirilli (I)
All tracks composed, arranged and produced by Antonio Forcione.
Co-produced with the legendary Chris Kimsey.

"I met Chiwoniso in Harare ( Zimbabwe) during the HIFA festival in 2006, I was immediately captured by her voice and her amazing stage presence. We met afterwards and had a chat about life and music, both left with a promise to make music together.  Few years later (2011) I was called back to perform in Harare again, Chi agreed to write the lyrics on two songs I was working on. The result was just a-m-a-z-i-n-g, when I discussed money she answered “I just would like you to play in my album next time..”  Miss you Chi   a xx
