Written on November 19, 2007 – 9:52 am | by Michael |

The Ounongo Pamwe group has just returned from a successful musical tour to the United States of America and has decided to organise a homecoming concert at the Warehouse, which will be held this Friday. The Ounongo Pamwe group is made up of Tunakie, Jackson Kaujeua, Axue Gomachab, Moses Manza, Papa Shikongeni and Set-son Wahengo.

Members of the Ounongo Pamwe group, which recently returned from touring the US.

During its USA trip the group visited cultural institutions like the Duke Ellington School of Arts, museums and radio stations. Tunakie has won several Sanlam Music Awards and has just released her first single ‘Wameme’.

Papa Shikongeni, a multi-talented artist, focuses on visual art, cardboard printmaking, sculpture and music. Kaujeua sings in Otjiherero, and Damara/Nama.

Axueb Gomachab took Namibia by storm with his debut CD “The Pride of Khomas”, which was launched last year. His music is based on modernised sounds of traditional Damara music, which have been remixed with soothing undertones of township jazz.

Set-son Wahengo is the lead singer of the Mighty Dreads. Moses Manza has gained a reputation as one of the leading percussionists in town.

Doors open at 20h00 and the show tickets are available at the Warehouse Theatre for N$35 in advance and N$45 at the door.
