World minerals

                                           Thomas Mapfumo
In this episode of World Minerals, the mbira is shown from various angles. On the programme for example mbira groups, like Mbira Dze Narira and the Nyemako Mbira Crew, but also a foreign band like Monoswezi. Big names like Dumisani Maraire and Ephat Mujuru, who brought the traditional mbira music to the US, can be heard. And of course Thomas Mapfumo, who brought the mbira music for an international audience. For a full explanation, look at our (Dutch) weblog World music.
