Pendo and Leah Zawose, from the city of Bagamoyo in Tanzania, East Africa, have announced details of their debut album Maisha under the name The Zawose Queens. It is a long-awaited first release by female members of one of Tanzania’s most famous musical families.
Emboldened by workshops in songwriting and music production with visiting UK-based producers Oli Barton-Wood and Tom Excell, The Zawose Queens began writing their first ever songs.

Maisha is out 7th June via Real World Records.
