Anonzi Preshy,we grew up in the same hood muKadoma kuIngezi,(infact I grew up),Ane ruoko one .I used to see him and admire him from a distance.I was around 15(2002/3)Was mad about mbira.25yrs later started hearing mbira mumzeve,one day went to a bira pakarohwa mbira Ngoma nehosho RiRi jenaguru ndomusi wakaburuka mhondoro.Mbira is life.🎉
Mbira in classical music genre! Brilliant. Can you kindly inform on the line up of the performers. I can see Samaita, and Micah Munemo. Who is playing what?
Thanks. Samaita Gahamadze plays Dongonda which is in the rhythm section; Micah Munemo plays the Nheketo (lead / highest pitch); the bass or Nhivapasi is played by another Samaita (tallest guy in the group); Chrispen Mujongodi Sinyoro plays the Duriro (rhythm), and the youngest guy is a Mukanya playing another rhythm/sub lead mbira. So it’s five mbiras. Two hosho players - Tembo Fukanhembe who plays with one hand, and Tendai Moyo Kazuru who plays the fancy hosho; and one drummer - don’t remember his name or mutupo but could be a Phiri. I spent some time with them before they performed.
Ndabva ndafunga kwedu kwaRwizi paMhondoro apo🎉. Apa now very far away from home and feeling closer to my ancestors and spirit mediums here in America. Thanks guys God bless 👏👏👏👏 varipasi vanochengeta hama dzangu
