Chikomo Marimba - on the Highland Trails

Chikomo Marimba is a high-energy, Zimbabwean-style marimba ensemble based in Asheville, North Carolina. Founded over a decade ago, the group is known for its joyful, danceable music that blends traditional Shona melodies with modern African-inspired rhythms. The ensemble features a range of marimbas—soprano, tenor, baritone, and bass—crafted from local hardwoods by the group’s director, Steve Kemble. These instruments are complemented by additional percussion, including drum kits and claves, to create rich, layered rhythms.
