The Zawose Queens: From Starman to Shaman

The Zawose Queens play Firth Hall on Friday 13 November, their show titled From Starman to Shaman. It's a Tanzanian duo, Pendo Zawose and Leah Zawose, and the name comes from the Zawose musical family, one of Tanzania's most well-known musical dynasties. If you've come across that name before, it's because the family has been a fixture of the country's music scene for generations, and these two carry that lineage forward. The title From Starman to Shaman gives a fair hint of the ground they cover, and the set is built around that contrast.

As a duo, Pendo and Leah bring the family's musical heritage into a live setting, and the show is billed as From Starman to Shaman.

It's at Firth Hall in Firth Court, Western Bank, Sheffield S10 2TN. Doors open at 19:00, the show starts at 19:30, and it's expected to finish around 21:30, so it's a proper evening's music rather than a short set. Seating is unreserved, so if you want a particular spot, it's worth getting there a bit early. Under-14s need to be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are £19 full price, which includes the booking fee. There's a concession price of £10 for students, University of Sheffield staff, under-30s, and anyone on DLA, PiP, Universal Credit, or Pension Credit, also including the booking fee. With the show running from 19:30 to 21:30, it's a good length for a Friday night in the city.
