We are delighted to present an exhibition of 21 linocut prints by Lucas Bambo, created for ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฒโ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ , the biography of master mbira player, Cosmos Magaya, by ethnomusicologist Paul Berliner.
Commissioned as chapter illustrations for the book, the prints draw on Bamboโs visit to Zimbabwe, where he met renowned mbira master Cosmas Magaya and experienced the traditions and communities that shaped his life. These striking linocuts offer a visual journey through Magayaโs upbringing, musical legacy, and the cultural world of the mbira.
Currently on show at Tokara Wine and Olive Estate, Stellenbosch. All works are for sale, available as a full set or individual prints.
