In this video Stella sings and plays music, and speaks of her struggle to learn in a field dominated by men. Stella is interviewed in her Harare home and performs several of her compositions amongst the remarkable rock formations of Dumboshawa. Her music is combined with images of Great Zimbabwe, ancient rock paintings, and the work of present day artisans. Written by Ron Hallis See less
