Photo: Mark Pickthall Following a guest spot when ZubopGambia played the Queens Hall, Narbeth this April, we were thrilled when Molara accepted an invitation to collaborate with us. Those of you into your dub will doubtless know Molara from her days with the mighty Zion Train, but she is a woman of many talents. So far she has featured with ZubopGambia in Carmarthen and Tregaron, bringing her own inimitable style to the proceedings. Total excitement all round! Watch out for a full tour with Molara in 2007. See what else she is up to on her website www.molara.co.uk Buy directly from us online - Zubop recordings offered at special Zubop website prices. A CD of ZubopGambia is available, recorded live at Ronnie Scott's. When you've perused this site, visit our MySpace site to hear live tracks and see video footage from our latest tour. TEKEZZE Our last studio cd Tekezze got rave reviews "...luxuriant, exotic...irresistable" - Dave Gelly, The Observer. "Exuberant and exciting, this highly enjoyable group mixes contemporary jazz, Latin, African music and funk into a celebratory danceable form, performed with on-the-edge enthusiasm."
