Kutandara. Translated, this Zimbabwean word means, “to come together and have a good time.” It was, Randy and Amy Stewart McIntosh decided, the perfect name for their Zimbabwean music center.

7th Annual Independent Music Award Live Album Finalist: Kutandara

IMA Logo

Presented since 2001, the Independent Music Awards (IMAs) is an international program that honors top-ranked independent (indie) artists and releases in more than 80 Album, Song, EP, Producer, Music Video and Design categories.

The IMAs were created in 1999 by Music Resource Group (MRG). The program receives submissions from previous major-label artists as well as self-released and indie label talent from more than 94 countries on 6 continents. Submissions are evaluated on the basis of artistic merit, including (but not limited to) originality, melody, vocal performance, musicianship, composition, and production. A panel of influential artists & industry veterans determine the nominees and judge-determined winners.

In 2008, Kutandara was a finalist in the Live Performance Album category.
