Zap Mama and K.ZIA

An artist as eclectic and challenging as Zap Mama was never really going to have an average live show. Zap Mama manages to bring her unique fusion of Afro-pop, Hip-Hop and RnB to the stage in a way that’s just as creative and engaging as the music itself.
The true focus of the set is always on the voice. Operating on her belief that the voice is an instrument like any other, Zap Mama utilises an ensemble of female singers to create a unique polyphonic experience. With the singers front and centre, they lead the performance, dancing and harmonizing over the funky backdrop the live band provide. The singers do not hold back as they dominate the performance, swooping through the full capabilities of the human voice, taking the crowd up for the shrieking highs and down low with spoken words.
Overall a Zap Mama show is a celebration of the human voice, a showcase of what Zap Mama calls the most soulful instrument. And when you hear what these ladies are capable of, its hard to disagree.
