Description

Now in his mid-70’s, Tute Chigamba is still a master mbira player! Here he plays solo on gandanga (also known as mavembe) tuning, a tuning he helped to popularize with other mbira players. The pieces include both mbira classics, and some songs specific to the Chigamba family repertoire. There is mellow singing, mostly low-pitched mahonyera, with most of the pieces. And, yes, you do hear him using the left finger key in some of the songs, such as Nyuchi and Chipembere. [Total time: 85:24]
