Description

Enjoy the solo frolicking mbira and gentle vocals of late great mbira player Luken Pasipamire Kwari, of the famed group Mhuri yekwaRwizi. This is a great recording for mbira students to learn from, and the tuning is “Magaya Standard” nyamaropa tuning (around B flat pitch). The version of Nhema musasa (track 1) is quite an unusual one! Kwari called the track 8 Taireva “Kasawa”, “it means the music goes deep into you, like the bones in a fish.” [Total time: 92:13]
