Description

Enjoy Zimbabwe’s fabulous father-daughter mbira duo, who had already played for decades by this time (1991), at ceremonies all over Zimbabwe. This very casual recording includes many moods, from dreamy to stompingly lively. Some tracks have exciting makwa (handclapping) by Tute’s son Henry, and the last 4 tracks (only) include hosho.

Recorded in Zororo, Highfields, Harare by Brett Stewart, mixed by Erica Azim, photo by Brett Stewart. [Total time: 92:20]
