Zena Edwards April 16th, 2008 by sparky Zena Edwards will perform at The Big Chill festival 2008 A-Z line up \| Ticket info Zena Edwards - Biography Revered not only for the easy power of her words but also for her opulent delivery, for the complex manipulation of her voice, Zena’s work is deep and sensuous, rhythmic and startling. Her poetry is not simply supported by music, but is music itself. Using sampling technology to layer her mellifluous singing voice and the raw magic of the Kalimba and Kora, Zena creates her own sound tracks for her words and stories. She fuses jazzy Hip-Hop grooves heavily influenced by her World music collaborations with South African musician Pops Mohamed, one of her most important mentors. Zena was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 for Bloodlines as part of the Africa 05 series, and twice by Apples & Snakes for the Broken Words and Writers on the Storm tours. She has appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Poetry Please, Guy Barker’s World Café for BBC Radio 3, and London Live Radio. Currently she is developing her one woman show, touring in 2008/9. www.myspace.com/zenaedwards Zena Edwards will perform at The Big Chill festival 2008 A-Z line up \| Ticket info Tags: music, radio, voice, words Posted in Artists 2008 \| 2,470 views \| This entry was posted on Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 at 3:41 pm and is filed under Artists 2008.
