Limitless Call Family, known as Licafa, is poised to become one of the most significant musical acts to emerge from Zimbabwe and Africa.
Fronted by the talented Goldrich Makeredza, this seven-piece band is currently in the studio, with new music set to drop soon.
Makeredza, a versatile and multi-talented artist with over a decade of experience in the music industry, serves as the driving force behind Licafa.
His diverse background includes collaborations with various organisations and individuals in different capacities, such as Sandringham High School, US Marine, Life and Liberty Churches, Dino Mudindo, Tendai Chidarikire, Pastor Haisa, Tatenda Mahachi, Amagents and several other entities in Zimbabwe.
In Botswana, Makeredza has worked with Mpho Mothlasedi, Mathias Matsetse, God’s Property, Nfila Mazwio among several other organisations and this informs to his wide-ranging influence and commitment to music.
Licafa specialises in Afrotonic fusion, a genre that melds traditional African sounds with modern electronic elements.
This innovative approach results in a captivating sound characterised by rich African rhythms, unique instrumentation, and a blend of languages, including Shona and Ndebele.
Makeredza’s expertise in lutherie and electronics has led to the creation of bespoke instruments that define the band’s distinctive sound.
Goldrich’s custom instruments, including a fretless acoustic guitar inspired by the West African kora and dynamic drum stomp percussions, add depth and expressiveness to Licafa’s music.
Each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, contributing to the band’s unique sonic palette.
Licafa’s live shows will be an immersive experience, combining music, poetry, and visual art.
Audiences will be treated to Goldrich’s remarkable vocal range, poetry recitals, and live abstract painting that responds to the music and themes of ubuntu (humanity), motivation and social commentary.
The band’s versatility ensures a performance that resonates with a broad audience, making their music a universal language.
