Description

Mutamba (‘Wild Orange Tree’ – Strychnos spinosa) is a piece from the over 1,000-year old Shona mbira repertoire played in ceremonies. It is believed that, in ancient times, when a starving person prayed to the ancestors at this tree, food and water would miraculously appear. [Total time: 79:52]
