We'll Live Forever

Ndangariro is Shona for "memories". The new single carries home across the water: bigger guitars, colder skies, and the same restless Zimbabwean heart, singing that some things live forever.

The story

From Zimbabwe, with volume

Sarah Knew is an original, high-energy live band with a distinctive sound that sits somewhere between classic rock swagger and alternative rock ache. The band's roots are Zimbabwean, and you can hear it in the rhythm and the restlessness.

They sharpened their sound in Cape Town, releasing a debut EP that found its way onto multiple radio platforms and earned them spots on festival stages. Now based in the United Kingdom, they have just released a new single, Ndangariro (We'll Live Forever), the first chapter of what comes next. The Journey follows soon.
