Bi Kidude – Silent Drum
Within weeks of returning from her eight concert tour of Europe last month, Zanzibari mama msondo, Bi Kidude was rushed to Al Rahma hospital for an emergency hernia operation. Thankfully, within days she was up and about again and seemingly her usual cheery self. "I shall cook for myself", she said, "I don't need anyone taking care of me", said the 95 year old. However, she is now under doctors' orders to stay off the drum for the next six months, which she admits she will find hard, "but at least I shall still be able to sing!"
