Available as CD or download
Description
Soulful, virtuoso mbira playing, full waves of music that will wash you away to a far far place…”Samaita” Vitalis Botsa takes us on a journey with the amazing mbira style more commonly associated with former mbira partner Forward Kwenda. A “market gardener” who grows vegetables in Muzanenhamo Village, Murehwa, Samaita had not played mavembe tuning mbira for 13 years, and he says he’s out of practice after only 3 months to get reacquainted with the tuning. But, other mbira players would love to sound like this…EVER! [Total time: 77:38]
