MY NEW FRIEND, SATYA, HAS INTRODUCED ME TO MBIRA MUSIC. IT IS FANTASTIC TO LISTEN TO AND TO CONTEMPLATE/MEDITATE TO. I LOVE IT AND I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT, SO I WANT TO SHARE A SPACE ON MY PAGE FOR IT.
In Zimbabwean music, the mbira is a musical instrument consisting of a wooden board to which staggered metal keys have been attached. In Shona music, the mbira dzavadzimu ("voice of the ancestors", national instrument of Zimbabwe, is a musical instrument that has been played by the Shona people of Zimbabwe for thousands of years. The mbira dzavadzimu is frequently played at religious ceremonies and social gatherings called mabira (sing. "bira").
HERE IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE, AND ALSO LISTEN TO THE SONG I HAVE ON THE LEFT.
