The final night of OFFest 2026 on June 6 brings a double program: Matchume Zango and Zawose Queens at MKC at 8:00 PM, followed by the documentary film "Elis & Tom - It Had to Be You" at Kino Frosina. Two events, one evening, two faces of world music.

Matchume Zango is a Mozambican percussionist and timbila master - a traditional instrument UNESCO declared intangible cultural heritage. Zawose Queens are a Tanzanian collective continuing the legacy of the legendary Hukwe Zawose, master of the ilimba. Their music is a hypnotic blend of East African rhythms and contemporary sounds.

The documentary "Elis & Tom" tells the story behind the recording of the legendary 1974 Brazilian album by Elis Regina and Tom Jobim - one of the most important works in the history of bossa nova and Brazilian popular music.

Concert tickets are 800 denars, film tickets 150 denars, available through karti.com.mk and mktickets.mk.
