Shishani & The Namibian Tales

Shishani & The Namibian Tales is an acoustic quartet which combines sounds from different cultures. It merges African music traditions with Afro-American and Western flavours. Shishani’s soothing voice and powerful songwriting finds itsinspiration in the Namibian social and cultural context and blends with cello virtuosity, explorations in Afro Anatolian percussion, mbira music from Zimbabwe, and melodies of the West African kora to provide a journey that traverses numerous musical borders.

Shishani & The Namibian Tales make music that is alive with their languages and cultural heritage; they present original compositions as well storytelling and chanting in Oshiwambo, one of Namibia’s native tongues and English. The group was founded by Sjahin During and Shishani in 2015.
