Evason Gore (Sekuru Gore)

Lead Master Multi-Instrumentalist, Elder & Artistic Director

Evason Gore, revered as Sekuru Gore, is the elder, visionary, and master multi-instrumentalist of Mazana Movement. Raised in the rich musical traditions of Rushinga and Harare, he is a virtuoso on the mbira dzavadzimu, ngororombe panpipes, ngoma drums, hosho, marimba, as well as guitar, trumpet, saxophone, and drumset.

Sekuru Gore carries the sacred lineage of classical Shona acoustic tradition while commanding an extraordinary breadth of instrumentation. His style is characterized by lightning-fast, impeccably articulated kushaura plucking, rich vocal delivery spanning classical mahon’era bass lines and piercing huro yodeling, and an intuitive mastery of interlocking polyrhythms.

ARTISTIC INFLUENCE & CONTRIBUTION

The musical heartbeat, guardian of traditional Shona acoustic repertoire, and master of both indigenous and modern instruments
