Russian pianist Alexis Golovin performed at the Harare International School this afternoon. We won’t tell you about the performance- you can read about it on the main Zimbo Jam site. We’ll tell you instead about an old woman we met there who goes by the name of Marietta and who loved Golovin’s music so much that she went up to him after the show to thank him.
Marietta (78) told Zimbo Jam that she wanted to be a singer as a younger woman, but she married a farmer and that ended her musical dream.

Marietta also asked Alexis if he could play a song for her which she last heard 50years ago. Golovin speaks French and his English is not so fluent so he did not quite understand her request.
