Kasanga Makishi was born in Angola in June 1920 but came to Zimbabweat a young age. Says Kweseka Makishi Dance Troupe leader and drummer: "We were never taught how to play the drums, but we just saw it fit to preserve our culture as youths involved in these practices since it is our Tshogwe culture from Angola."



Anno 2011 Kasanga Makishi claims to be 91 years old but is still going strong, giving energetic percussion performances.
