Music by Prudence wins an Oscar

Prudence Mabhena is the lead singer of the award-winning Zimbabwean band Liyana. She and her seven band members are all disabled. She is also the title character of the documentary Music by Prudence, which won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary Short. Her voice has been likened to South African music legend Miriam Makeba – listen to her sing and you’ll see why The Great Zimbabwe Guide is proud to feature her in its first ‘Great Zimbabweans’ post.
