Being that March is Women's History Month, I've decided to dedicate all of my posts this month to female African artists, (sorry boys). In the past, I discussed a few of my female music loves like Asa, Denitia Odigie, and various others, but none of them rock like the ladies below. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy the ladies I've shared with you all so far, but Shingai Shoniwa, Inge Beckmann, Ebony Bones and Karen Zoid are full-blown rock stars.
Each of these ladies front their own band and command the stage in every performance. They also have amazing stage outfits that I would love to wear.
Shingai Shoniwa |
Why She Rocks: The Zimbabwean jammed with Sir Paul McCartney backstage at an African Express event in London last year. Watch here.
Listen: Scratch Your Name
Inge Beckmann |
Ebony Bones |
Why She Rocks: How many people do you know that can turn a song titled "Don't Fart On My Heart" into a hit?
Why She Rocks: Her lyrics are so amazing, they are apart of the curriculum in Afrikaans poetry courses at multiple universities.
