about

Demachena are a trio of musicians who have produced a distinctive blend of African, Arabic and Latin music while incorporating a host of other unique styles, producing a truly intriguing concoction of "World Music". The name of the group means "black and white" a name derived from the Shona people whose Mbira tradition has been a major influence on the bands own music and performance style. Having also spent significant periods in the Sahara desert, Mali and India filming documentaries on regional culture and traditional music, the exquisite influences from these regions are evident in their music.
Demachena's dynamic performances are a fascinating musical journey from Flamenco to Central African Katanga styles complimented by the mastery of rare ethnic (mbira, didgeridoo, udu, ngoni...) and contemporary instruments and punctuated by lyrics in an array of languages producing what is a truly incomparable, captivating and exhilarating show.
The trio comprises of:
Luis Gimenez: ethnomusicologist, composer, ‘Gwenyambira’ (Master Mbira player) and Spanish guitar maestro.
Antonio Prats: formerly of La Negra, Antonio is an electrifying percussionist and co-founder of the illustrious Spanish-based percussive orchestra ‘Batukm Takada’, RŸgarŽ and accomplished instrumentalist and vocalist.
Rugare Musikavanhu: mbira, guitar, banjo and didgeridoo player and vocalist.
