Dangurangu Mbira Piece Intensive

Description

Dangurangu is a piece from the 1,000-year old Shona mbira repertoire played in ceremonies. A wide variety of meanings are ascribed to the name of this piece, including “a song to celebrate a real chief chosen by the spirits,” “a big goal to save and pray for, little by little,” and “telling someone something, but he can’t understand and keeps arguing.” This collection includes 13 tracks in nyamaropa, gandanga/mavembe, katsanzaira, and other tunings, ranging from 1962 to 2009.
