Description

"Mbira Music / Musics. Structures and Processes presents a collection of special studies focussing on some of the many typologically and genetically interrelated lamellophones and the respective web of musical idioms and 'dialects' whose historically dynamic distribution covers the vast south-central African area of what are now the Shona-speaking parts of Zimbabwe and adjacent areas in Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, and South Africa. Besides deepening specific aspects of and exploring amazing new developments branching out from the already well-documented Zezuru mbira dzavadzimu and the Kwanongoma College's, now widespread, schools version of the karimba, these studies also highlight some of the previously underrepresented members of the south-central African lamellophone family such as the Tonga kankobela, the Lala kankobele, the Korekore and Sena-Nyungwe matepe, and the particularly variable and idiosyncratic Ndau mbira dza-VaNdau."--
