Every second Tuesday enjoy two sets by Kina Zoré live at Midway Cafe!
For over a decade, Kina Zore has brought jubilation to hundreds of dance floors across North America with award-winning songwriting and virtuosic instrumental performances. Kina Zoré is Mozambican native Helder Tsinine's vehicle for preserving the beautiful and endangered cultures of Mozambique. After Mozambique's independence from the colonial Portuguese in 1975, a 15-year civil war afflicted the country with violence, illness, and poverty. Fortunate to live in the city away from war, Helder's family housed refugees from all over country who would shared different cultures, language, and music. Many of Tsinine's song lyrics depict critical social issues - war, HIV/AIDS, famine and more - that continue to affect Mozambicans and many others all over the world.
Kine Zoré was honored to be invited to play for current Mozambican president Filipe Nyusi. Helder's original song, "Va Gumulelana (They Are Fighting)" won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize. The band has shared the stage with Angelique Kidjo, the Skatalites, Red Baraat, Zap Mama, Debo Band, Sierra Leone Refugee All-Stars and Jazzmeia Horn. Kina Zoré has toured in numerous major locales in North America.
