Kumatendera-Mbira DzeNharira

Full mbira dzenharira DVD
The mbira orchestra has been steadily gaining popularity and acceptance by the mbira community in Zimbabwe. While there are those that say it is not a traditional approach, there are certainly plenty of others that feel it is traditional. The main test of course is whether the spirits approve, and judging by Mbira DzeNharira’s busy schedule and steady engagements at religious ceremonies, there certainly are many spirits that do approve of the orchestra. The orchestra is created by playing many mbira that are in tune together, but whose pitches start and end at different points of the scale (or mode) from each other.
