Description
More than 25 years ago, Tute Chigamba was already playing mbira with seemingly effortless mastery. Most tracks are played in gandanga (mavembe) tuning and tracks 13-16 are played in nyamaropa tuning. The pitches of the instruments are close enough to those used in MBIRA workshops for students to enjoy playing along (nyamaropa tuning near B pitch and mavembe tuning near A pitch). Chigamba is joined by daughter Irene on tracks 17 and 18. This recording was made in a casual context, and household and neighborhood sounds are heard at times. [Total time: 94:04]
