THE MARIMBA PROGRAM

What is Marimba?

The marimba is more than just an instrument; it’s the heartbeat of rhythm, connecting us to the vibrant traditions of the past and the boundless creativity of the present. Its resonant tones evoke joy, reflection, and unity, reminding us that music is woven into the very fabric of who we are. Whether carrying melodies that tell ancient stories or igniting the energy of modern rhythms, the marimba speaks a universal language that resonates deep within our bones.

How do we fit in?

Our goal is to introduce and teach Marimba Music to people in the broaderCanadian family. We want the community to come together to createrelationships, share cultures, in our case, through music. Sizwe Marimba Bandis a product of the Sihle Sizwe Vineyard Foundation.

The band, a youthful ensemble was formed just before the Covid pandemic in 2019. It was formed as a response to a desire by Sihle Sizwe, to share the Zimbabwean style marimba instrument with the broader Canadian community. Since then, the band has performed at schools, senior homes, festivals, weddings, parties, political gatherings, theaters including Ardens in St. Albert and the Winspear Centre in downtown Edmonton.
