African Music - Mbira lessons

Houston TX

Description

Learn traditional Shona cultural music of Zimbabwe through playing mbira, a hand-held instrument with 24 tuned metal keys. This is a traditional instrument, consisting of secular and spiritual songs played in cyclic pattern. The music is polyrhythmic, meant to be played in tandem with others. I can get you started on this path, and you would have to obtain your own mbira for practice, as well as subscribe to my teachers website: https://learnmbira.com/. Example of music: https://youtu.be/I_91-lVzUVU. I can talk to you further about resources and intent by phone. Thanks and contact Stephen through CL email relay.
