matepe.org Mbira Presentation Concert

Today we're celebrating the first milestone of our project to document the matepe mbira: All music teaching videos are online, freely available on https://matepe.org.

With the exception of Paul Berliner and Cosmas Magaya's opus magnum Mbira's Restless Dance, this is the largest effort known to me to document a mbira tradition.

Unlike an academic publication, our focus is on cultural preservation. The primary target audience is Zimbabweans locally and in the diaspora.

If you're in Harare, don't miss tonight's presentation concert featuring mbira legends Chaka Chawasarira, Othnell 'Mangoma' Moyo, Forward Kwenda, Jacob+Abel Mafuleni, Hope Masike, Nancy Nasibo, Mary Anibal and more!

Admission free!
