From Afro-pop to ancient melodies, Kutandara offers energized, polymelodic rhythms and soulful grooves that move the body and spirit. The nine-member world music ensemble explores the Zimbabwean musical style while creating a sound all its own. They skillfully meld common western electric instruments and traditional African instruments with vocal melodies and harmonies capturing the beauty and passion of the sounds of Africa.
Kutandara features Randy McIntosh and Amy Stewart on marimba and mbira, Loren Mach, Mike Ely and Lynn Smith on marimba, Matthew Spencer on bass and percussion, Alex Eherenman on traps, Kurt Eherenman on sax, and Brechen Santeremo on vocals. Kutandara means to come together and have a good time, which is the band's purpose as they exchange the energy of music and movement with their audiences.

Jyemo and the Extended Family's rootsadelic sound has been described as Peter Tosh meets Steely Dan. The band has shared the stage with Sublime, the Skatalites, String Cheese Incident, The Samples, Sister Carol, Leftover Salmon, The Motet, and Cabaret Diosa.
Jyemo and the Extend Family are described as the future of conscious music in America. Bringing it in their original high-energy roots style, Jyemo delivers an inspirational grooved message to growing crowds in every region they play. The Family's live performances combine flavorings of Reggae, Rock and African music into a contemporary Funk sound the band describes as "new conscious dance."
