2 artists from Tanzania, Gwaii and Wakazi performed at the Annual World African Festival in Detroit this last Saturday. The event takes place every year with dancing group displays, poetry, art display as well as live performances by bands from all over the world. Gwaii also known as Gwaii Thyword (Actor/Singer), has been creating a lot of buzz in the Midwest area with his combination of music, dancing and spoken word.
The buzz was big enough to earn him a spot as one of the performers at the festival, where he put on a show worth while. Accompanying him to the stage, was a string of collaborators, namely Amber (singer), Kodac (American rapper), Mama Ayo (Poetress) and Wakazi (Tanzanian rapper) with whom he performed 2 of their collaborative work namely "Welcome " and "Cheza" both produced by John Mahundi. With a show like the one they did this saturday, look forward to hearing these artists names in the mainstream as they are bound to become household names.
