One facet of mbira music from Zimbabwe has recently become well-known around the world - the music of the mbira dza vadzimu of the Zezuru Shona who live around the capital Harare. But it is not the only type of mbira or indeed the only musical instrument in Zimbabwe! Historical recordings of the Ndau, Shona and Sena Tonga peoples. Recorded by Hugh Tracey between 1949 and 1963. Voices and sounds from the past, a collection of gems.
