Mankwe's Blurbs |
About me:
Family from Maji- ya Chai, Tanzania, St. Louis, MO & Chicago, IL. I’ve been working for over a decade weaving together mediums of theater, dance, music, and spoken word using improvisation. My first love is the first instrument – the voice – from which all other music flows. I like to improvise with other vocalists, beat-boxers, dancers, poets, mc's & musicians. My chief interest is to use music & myth to bridge the divide between Africans & African-Americans - and then divides among all peoples.

Who I'd like to meet:
imaginative, justice-minded people: music lovers, artists, folks who know about creative & sane self-management/making new markets for their work
