about

A slow meditative version of Chinyanyanga played on a Gandanga (minor key) mbira known as DIndinyonwe, after the mountain local to the tune's composer WIlliam Chitauro's home. In this slower version you can hear more clearly the multiple interlocking parts that William has composed in the Shona tradition. Each has a different feel and rhythm so relax and take the journey into this extraordinary soundscape.

You can hear more of William's music and learn to play the mbira yourself from his tutorial. Check both out here on bandcamp.
