Band Info on Panjea:
The powerful groove and socially conscious message of Panjea has its roots in the ghettos of Zimbabwe, co-mingling hip-hop and dancehall beats with traditional African rhythms.
Panjea was given the unique opportunity to open for the String Cheese Incident in the Fall of 2005, combining an incredible family of musicians, leading to the great Michael Kang joining forces with the project in May of 2006 for a month long tour.
Panjea's music must be experienced live. The performances never fail to pull the audience from their seats, dancing and singing along with the infectious hooks. Recent successes have included repeat performances at High Sierra Music Festival, Wakarausa Music Festival, Highline Ballroom, NYC's Zinc Bar, Mt. Holyoke College opening for Zimbabwean star Oliver Mtuzudzi, and sold-out late night performances at the Blue Note NYC; the list goes on.
