About the Performance
Join us for an extraordinary evening dedicated to the heart of Zimbabwean musical heritage. The Mbira Ensemble Night brings together masters of the 'kalimba' or 'thumb piano' for a polyphonic journey through generations of spiritual and celebratory music.
This event isn't just a concert; it's a living archive. Attendees will experience the intricate interweaving of kushaura (the leading part) and kutsinhira (the following part), creating a hypnotic soundscape that has anchored Shona culture for over a thousand years.
