Sounds Of The African Mbira - VARIOUS ARTISTS CD
Mesmerizing and intricate music of the Southern African mbira (thumb piano). The instrument symbolizes the spiritual life of the Shona people.Tinashe Chidanyika is one of the great masters playing various different mbiras, accompanied on traditional percussion by Barry Van Zyl.Additional Info: Between the sublime mbira playing of Stella Chiweshe and the mbira-like guitar lines of Thomas Mapfumo, there might not be a lot of room left for traditional Zimbabwean music on the world music circuits. Nonetheless, Tinashe Chidanyika makes a valiant entry, combining more traditional mbira lines with older forms of accompaniment -- cascading vocal harmonies that verge on yodeling. When he gets into a good loop, Chidanyika's full yodel moves into something of a Western, cowboy range. The music is mildly hypnotic, using repetition with non-repeating ornamentation to both lull listeners and keep them interested.
