About the Mbira
The mbira is a sacred instrument of Zimbabwe,
played by striking the thumbs upon metal keys.
The mbira can be soothing, meditative and
very much unintrusive. When played in an ensemble
however, or at a traditional ceremony (known as a
bira) mbira music can be one of the most uplifting,
rhythmic sounds around.
