}}Rebel Woman, the 2008 release by Chiwoniso Maraire off U.S.-based independent Cumbancha, is her first international release in more than 10 years.[1] Chiwoniso's music on the album incorporates elements of traditional African music, British rhythm and blues, and modern African sounds, particularly those of Zimbabwe.[2] The tracks are backed by the sounds of the traditional Marimba.[2]

Critical reception

Philip Van Vreck of Billboard praised the album's title track, saying that it "testifies to the strength of women in war and in peace." He also called "Listen to the Breeze" a "beautiful song that possesses the elegant expansiveness so typical of such African players as Hugh Masekela and West Nkosi."[3]

François Blain of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation complimented the album's balance of traditional and modern musical styles.[4]

Allmusic's Adam Greenberg wrote that throughout the album's myriad of styles and themes, from the political to cultural to straightforward dance music, "Chiwoniso's sound is clean and complex, her vocals and mbira holding the front of the stage."[5]
