The name "Sibikwa African Indigenous Orchestra" has many connotations to it. Other's criticise that it raises expectations of an African orchestra trying to match up to the standards of the western empire.
This Orchestra is not made up of 40 people. It may not even be a chamber orchestra of 24. Some may choose to define it as merely an ensemble. What they don't know is that this is not just any African Marimba Ensemble. The album that they recorded last week represents the sophistication of African music and they aim to harness and raise the bar of world music performance.
