Nobuntu is a five part a cappella vocal ensemble made up of women from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. At 4 pm on Sunday, Nov 3 they'll visit Kalamazoo as part of their North American tour to perform at Chenery Auditorium.  Cara Lieurance talks to singer Duduzile Sibanda, who says her career in performing got started when she became fed up with her job as an accountant. Sibanda says groups like Nobuntu can add to the appreciation of music and dance at home and abroad. 

Nobuntu's concert is part of the Kalamazoo Bach Festival concert season. Tickets are available through the Bach Festival's website.
