Description
This talented 24-year old mbira player is the nephew of talented mbira players Patience Chaitezvi, and the late Christopher “Doubt” Chaitezvi and Endiby Makope. Ernest’s gentle vocals are a perfect complement to a sweet mbira style. He chose the name Ndangariro (“Memories”) for this album: “The music brings back memories of superstar mbira players who passed away, especially my uncle Chrisopher who had a strong passion for the music. The music also helps in bringing memories of a culture which is being eroded by Westernization…the music helps me visualize the way our ancestors lived…memories, memories, memories…” Ernest’s mbira is in MBIRA workshop pitch (B) nyamaropa tuning. [Total time: 78:17]
