National Geographic Music (National Geographic)

On Stella Chiweshe's first double album she is travelling on one path in two directions. In her TRANCE HITS, she journeys through the world of her ancestors, preserving their traditions. With her CLASSIC HITS she revisits the urban streets in Harare and calls on the younger, westernised generation to take pride in their own culture.

TRANCE HITS is the completely new recording Stella created in Zimbabwe under most difficult circumstances. A very spiritual album with references to spirits, a policeman possessed by the sounds of the m'bira, and a singing fish, it also includes a song she dreamed her grandmother was singing to her. The sublime spirituality of this album is balanced by the more worldly compilation CLASSIC HITS.
