The band Mokoomba from Victoria Falls belong to a younger generation of Tonga musicians keen to absorb various influences of modern life into an exciting mix of Afro-fusion and seductive traditional rhythms. The band name means “Deep respect for the River”, another ode to the Zambezi. The internationally acclaimed band has performed with Austrian musicians (Karl Ritter, Toni Burger, Franz Hautzinger , Isabelle Duthoit etal.) already 2017 in Ebensee / Upper Austria and other musical events and encounters in Austria.

Sensational A capella harmonies“ … beats that transform the audience into a rhythmic congregation of movers and shakers, dancing and clapping along to Miti Mugande’s earthy percussion. Mathias Muzaza shows off his extraordinary vocal range. It's a voice that never tires, growing in depth and versatility as the evening progresses. (Morning Star Online, UK 2018)

One of the most entertaining young bands in Africa … A natural entertainer, wearing a black hat and demonstrating some slick dance routines with the band, lead singer Mathias Muzaza has a powerful, soulful voice that is at times reminiscent of his great compatriot Oliver Mtukudzi, but also capable of hoarse, driving effects.
