Nhema musasa yepasi Mbira Piece Intensive

Description

Nhema musasa yepasi is a piece from the 1,000-year old Shona mbira repertoire played in ceremonies. Nhema musasa means ‘cutting (branches to build a) temporary shelter’. Nhema musasa yepasi is described as a more relaxed version of the piece to be played when the spirit comes to the ceremony, to calm the spirit. However, it is quite different from the piece Nhema musasa. [Total time: 79:49]
