The film premiered on HBO on May 12, 2010. ==Synopsis== ''Music by Prudence'' tells a self-empowering story of one young woman's struggle who, together with her band, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds and, in her own voice, conveys to the world that "disability does not mean inability." Zimbabwean singer-songwriter Prudence Mabhena was born severely disabled. The society she was born into considers disabilities to carry the taint of witchcraft. Because of this, many disabled children are abandoned. But Prudence and the seven young members of the band she has formed called Liyana, all disabled, have managed to overcome stereotypes and inspire the same people that once saw them as a curse. The main subjects of Music by Prudence, and members of the band "Liyana", are: *Prudence Mabhena - singer and composer (suffers from arthrogryposis) *Tapiwa Nyengera - back-up singer, keyboard, front man (has spina bifida) *Energy Maburutse - first marimba player, back-up vocalist (suffers from osteogenesis imperfecta, brittle bone syndrome) *Honest Mupatse - tenor marimba player (has hemophilia) *Marvelous Mbulo - back-up singer (has muscular dystrophy) *Vusani Vuma - bass marimba player (is hearing-impaired) *Goodwell Nzou - traditional drums and percussion, back-up singer (leg amputated) *Farai Mabhande - lead keyboardist (suffers from arthrogryposis) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Music by Prudence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
