Zimbabwe's beautiful mbira (both music and instrument) has been used for healing, personal meditation, celebrations, and sacred ancestral communication for over 1,000 years.
Musicians Salani Wamkanganise naGaadza and Erica Azim perform mbira together that will include a performance, discussion and a short period of instruction at the end for those who want to try playing the mbira instrument.
You can learn more about mbira from the Berkeley-based mbira organization here.
