An intimate portrayal of the Zawose family, a lineage of Tanzanian artists from the Wagogo people. Set in a secluded village near Bagamoyo, the film explores how music is deeply interwoven with daily life, identity, and ancestral tradition. The documentary highlights the family's dedication to preserving their unique musical heritage, including handcrafted instruments like the ilimba (a type of thumb piano) and the zeze (a bowed string instrument), both of which are central to Gogo musical expression.
