Chiwoniso - Rebel Woman
full image

What is so special about a woman who is a devoted advocate of free speech, human rights and social justice? Is it that she has a truly wonderful voice that channels the best of the what the southern half of Africa can offer? Yes, but what is even more remarkable is that she is based in Harare. Chiwoniso Maraire lives in the eye of the political and economic storm of Zimbabwe, and makes music about social inequity, war and political oppression. And she's a great singer.
