Description

In this recording, mbira master Tute Chigamba is teaching – but this is traditional style teaching, where he just says the name of the piece and which part it is…and then plays it in a slightly more sedate style than usual. Tracks 11 and 12 are nyamaropa tuning, the other tracks are gandanga/mavembe tuning. This is a very casual recording made at Chigamba’s house in Highfield, Harare, so the sweet SWEET mbira is accompanied at times by ambient sounds of cooking, kids, etc. (Note that this is a double album, over 260 MB, so use a fast internet connection to download it.) [Total time: 116:57]
