MBIRA player and women’s rights defender, Sasha Amadhuve, says she is proud of her culture.
The dancer and songwriter, who has been holding regular shows in and outside Harare, says it’s never too late for young people to embrace their culture.
Sasha, who was groomed by the late Edna “Mbuya Madhuve” Chizema believes she has a role to play in hammering home the importance of culture preservation.
“I was groomed by the best under the hands of Mbuya Madhuve, who taught me every aspect about our African culture.
“I just fell in love with chivanhu and I am doing my best using mbira, I don’t see myself quitting because it has become my lifestyle.
“I have performed at national events where I have been applauded for being a cultural ambassador,” she said.
She believes she is a role model sent to help young people.
“These days young people are facing a number of challenges and I believe God and the ancestors saw something unique in me and gave me this task.
“It’s a task that I will not give up because it really defines my destiny and who I am,” she said.
Sasha, who performs Mbuya Madhuve’s catalogue of songs and her own compositions, is one of the consistent female artists doing well at the moment.
