Always Abounding from Mbira --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keith-stensaas/support

An overview and introduction to the music of the Shona people of West Africa, especially the Mbira instrument. Guest host: Steven Curtin

Ep #168 with Mark Allan Stone, Array Mbira player and composer. Mark plays a new and very unusual instrument - the Array Mbira. It is based on the mbira (kalimba) from Zimbabwe and South Africa but it has been expanded to have 120 tines. You can play in any key and modulate keys freely. The instrument was invented by Fred Wesley and is not yet played by many people. Mark also plays marimba, gyil (balafon) and other African percussion instruments. He is deeply inspired by his Ghananian mentor Bernard Woma who played the gyil and one of his pieces is featured on this episode. Mark teaches a World Music class at a college in Michigan. For most of you this will be your first time hearing the Array Mbira. Enjoy!

In 1999, almost 30 years before ethnomusicologist Paul Berliner began his research on Zimbabwean mbira music, he organized a U.S. tour with mbira artists he had worked with over the years. Billed as the Mbira Masters of Zimbabwe, the ensemble presented Shona spiritual music as never before on American stages. Revered vocalists Hakurotwi Mude and Beulah Dyoko fronted an ensemble that also included Cosmas Magaya, Chaka Chawasarira and Berliner himself. Afropop Worldwide documented the tour and took it as an opportunity to take a deep dive into one of the most beautiful traditional music traditions in Africa. Produced by Banning Eyre. APWW #327

Sequitur XIV was written for the Hamburg-based pianist and performer Jennifer Hymer and sets the thumb piano in focus. This instrument, named ‘Mbira' in Africa, was discovered in the middle of the 20th Century from the British ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey, who developed out of it a standardized western instrument named ‘kalimba', and let it be produced industrially. In contrast to the African original, this western new construction is tuned diatonically. First I tried to approach the instrument like a child in that I pushed away all knowledge about the high art of Mbira-practice to the side. What did I see before me? A trapezoidal shaped wooden box with metal blades of differing lengths that were fastened over a sound hole in the middle. After I examined the sound possibilities of the kalimba's body through rubbing, scratching and knocking, I attached a contact microphone to its surface and sent the sounds through the same computer program that I had developed for the other “Sequitur” compositions. Suddenly everything became enchanted: the canonic layering of my knocking and scraping noises compressed themselves into a polyrhythmic layering and I felt myself being transported to the south of Africa where the African musicians play this instrument in ensemble and thereby produce a highly complex polyphony which the Viennese musicologist Gerhard Kubik described as “inherent patterns.” Only later I dedicated myself to the metal tines and through the help of live electronic manipulation found means and ways to dig out an ongoing diatonic. After many months of free experimenting, I was finally able to write a concisely written score for Jennifer Hymer, which turned my summing-ups of this instrument into a sound journey. https://www.essl.at/works/sequitur/sequitur-14.html

Music releases dopamine, and dopamine makes us feel good! It's a scientific fact. We get happy when we listen to music. Who doesn't love going to see their favourite band live, or singing along to a treasured album, or staring out the car window with the perfect road song on the radio. But there's so much more to it than that...In her remarkable debut book Wired for Music: A Search for Health and Joy Through the Science of Sound, author Adriana Barton guides us through her own personal musical journey, and the many ways in which the brain and music work in harmony.  Adriana left her life as a classical cellist in her late 20s, after a gruelling 17 years of intense musical discipline. In this episode, Adriana talks about how she made her way back to music via discoveries about the science of music, and learning how it can help with mood, anxiety, overall well-being, and even healthy aging. You'll also hear Adriana perform "Tadzungaira", a traditional song of the Mbira, from Zimbabwe.  LINKS:adrianabarton.comBuy Wired for MusicSupport the showA Morning Run Productions ProjectMusic Buddy is nomated for a 2023 Canadian Podcast Award for "Outstanding Music Series", and "Outstanding Main Title Theme Music for a Series".

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Orien Lee Johnston described her Cortes Island book launch, on August 4, in the Cortes Museum's Heritage Garden, as a perfect fulfillment. “There we are in the heritage garden of Cortez museum and archives. I counted afterwards probably more than 65 people were there and I'm standing there looking out at my friends and neighbours who are happily attentive and all smiling felt wonderful,” she said. “Now I know what performers feel like. We were a bit of a performance because Paul Kahn played in mbira to begin, oo to bring in the ambience of Zimbabwe. Mbira is the musical instrument of Zimbabwe. Then Priya Huffman read an elephant poem related to a scene I read about elephants. Zach Sukuweh played his didgeridoo exactly like the elephant. It was fantastic! My son Devin told some stories from the time that he joined me over there to see what life was like.” Johnston's book, ‘The Geography of Belonging: A Love Story' was published by Cortes Island's own Salmonberry Arts and Publishing in July. Ann Mortiffee wrote in the preface, “"Having been born in Southern Africa, I love The Geography of Belonging, travelling in my imagination with Oriane Lee Johnston on her amazing journey with Zimbabwe. She opens us to many questions about class, race, nature and the courage to follow love beyond our comfort level in order to discover the heart of another culture. The svikiro, a spiritual medium of the Shona people, said to her: 'To see our traditional ways kept alive with your interest and your writing. That is what you can give us.' Oriane Lee has indeed given that gift to all of us."  The week before our interview, Johnston did a book reading at Nhemamusasa North, a Zimbabwean music festival on Vancouver Island. “Everyone there was interested in Zimbabwe, so it was super fun!” she exclaimed. In September Johnston will do a book launch at the Fortune Gallery in Victoria. “My book is now available at Monroe bookstore, the iconic bookstore in Victoria that is around the corner from my grandfather's apparel store, that he had there in the 1940s and 50s,” she explained. “I'll be doing a podcast interview with Banyen Books founder/owner, Kolin Lymworth, Who's a dear friend in a share giver at Hollyhock. The publications in which I've published excerpts from the story, as it was in process, they will also do reviews or interviews.” Johnston said she never imagined she would fall in love with Africa, in a country that had once been the breadbasket of the continent. She described the collapse of the agricultural economy as Robert Mugabe's grip on power tightened - but that is not what her book is about. During her second or third visit she asked, ‘What could I do as one foreign visitor?' “To a person my Zimbabwean friends - whether they were Shona, White, Tonga or Ndebele - said, ‘Show the world what the news media does not. That our country is beautiful, our people are generous and happy. Our culture is rich and alive.'” Johnston takes the reader beyond the typical stories of corruption, poverty and a devastated economy presented by the media. Her story began during a three month volunteer experince with a ‘horseback riding safari. The Genesis of her book is a daily record of what happened. “The last week I went on a wildlife safari on horseback in the wilderness of Zimbabwe. That week absolutely changed everything about me, about my life, falling in love with Africa, finding perhaps a person that would draw me back there. Being under those stars, sleeping on the ground, riding 30 kilometers a day does something to your body and your mind just falls open,” she said. “Can you imagine being on a horse coming up close to giraffes and elephants? The horses are trained so well to override their instincts as prey and to listen to what their rider is asking. So there we are, standing there in the pulse of the wild.” That is where she met Stephen Hambani.

Originating in Southern Africa, the #mbira has long played an integral role in the #traditions and #cultural identity of Zimbabwe's Shona people. It consists of a handheld hardwood soundboard (gwariva) affixed with a series of thin metal keys, which are plucked by the thumbs and forefinger. A large hollow gourd (deze) provides amplification, and materials such as bottle caps or beads can be affixed to the soundboard to create the instrument's signature buzzing sound. #ZimbabweCultureWeek #bishopmaponga

Close your eyes, picture this extremely relaxing place you always like to go to... Everything is chilled there, no worries.. Now listen to this Kalimba Relaxation Music - Mind Opener, Negative Energy Cleansing. The kalimba is a musical instrument that is played by running your fingers across the tines of a metal or wooden board. It produces a sound similar to a xylophone, but with more resonance. Kalimbas are a type of African musical instrument that produces a soothing sound. They are played by pressing the keys with your fingers and thumbs, which causes the tines to vibrate. This instrument is so relaxing because it is capable of producing an array of sounds, from high-pitched to low-pitched tones. Furthermore, the kalimba does not have to be played with a lot of force in order for it to produce the desired sound. This makes it ideal for people who have trouble playing other instruments due to physical limitations or lack of strength in their hands and arms.

For Zethu Maseko, a sound, short film and textile artist based in London, sound can be a tool to learn about our past, build our own identities as well as understand futures and imagined futures for ourselves. Her piece Kuphiliswa (which means ‘healing’ in Zulu), is a sound piece written on the Mbira, a pre-colonial, Stone Age instrument she uses to highlight how ancient tools can be used in a contemporary context for healing, storytelling and as a point of conversation.

The mbira is a traditional Zimbabwean instrument that looks like a box with metal tongs spread out like eyelashes. It makes music that sounds like wind chimes and waterfalls. Growing up in Zimbabwe, Chaka Zinyemba was taught the mbira was 'bad.' A century of European colonialism had forced the instrument underground, with colonizers branding it as "evil" and "devil music." Chaka never anticipated that he would be a driving force behind the instrument's revival -- a revival that found a groundswell in Western Canada.

She had experienced all types of harassment and discrimination that are considered a norm for the culture and society that she lived in. Growing up, she had been a sibling with the lesser share, a molested student and employee, and a wife in a toxic marriage struggling to raise her child. Having endured this reality, Francisca started to understand the root cause of this inequality and began a lifelong commitment to taking a stand and speaking up against gender inequality.  Francisca believes in Maternal Power, the sacred bond created when a child begins its journey in its mother's body, intricately bound by a connection even stronger than the umbilical cord. She is convinced that the untapped potential of maternal power is a transformational force in the struggle for gender equality.  In her first published book, Mother, Behold Thy Son, Francisca shares her most personal experiences to show how mothers can use storytelling — coupled with their innate maternal power — to not just help their sons to reject toxic masculinity, but also to model how their daughters can become true equals. In this conversation, Francisca talks about how we are all victims of the same system -- a system in our culture and society that propagates generational inequality -- and how important it is for us to be aware of it, and ultimately work to change it. Francisca also talks about the role of music in her advocacy for change. She plays the Mbira and speaks highly of its therapeutic quality and how her children taught her to play it.They produced a twelve track album with her three children where they sing songs that are meant to transform undesired social, economic, and political realities. Aside from publishing her book, Francisca is a double winner of the Nunavut Iqaluit Status of Women Gender Equality Competition held in 2015. She was recognized as one of 57 mobilizers for gender equality and represented Canada at the Women Deliver 2019 Vancouver Conference.  Mother Behold Thy Son is available internationally on Amazon.

LIVE dai Cantieri Teatrali Koreja di LecceMbira, il nuovo spettacolo di Roberto Castello. Un concerto per due danzatrici, due musicisti e un regista che, utilizzando musica, danza e parola, racconta il complesso rapporto fra la nostra cultura e quella africana. Saper ascoltare, vedere, provare a capire…Partendo dalla mancanza di conoscenza, dal necessario superamento del luogo comune, con il garbo e l’ironia che lo contraddistinguono, Roberto Castello ricostruisce la storia di Mbira, parola dai molti significati,: strumento musicale tradizionale, ma anche genere popolare, originario dello Zimbabwe, che fu oggetto di una strana operazione…Una serata per chi ha bisogno di distrarsi, divertirsi e stare bene senza smettere di pensare.

Drummer, songwriter and producer Joachim Cooder joins me on the show this month. Joachim is the son of legendary slide guitarist Ry Cooder, and grew up around music in a way that few of us can comprehend. Living in an old firehall in Los Angeles, Joachim was exposed to music from the time he was born. With regular visits to the house/studio from Jim Keltner, Joachim understandably developed an interest in drumming, grew and developed a unique style and went on to play on many of his Dad’s great albums from the 90’s on. Albums like “My Name Is Buddy”, “Election Special”, “Buena Vista Social Club” and the spellbinding “Mambo Sinuendo” all feature Joachim’s incredible percussion and drumming. In more recent years, Joachim has developed a voice on the Array Mbira, a sort of complex, electrified kalimba. He released an album featuring his own original songs last year entitled “Fuchsia Machu Pichu” that bears a sonic resemblance to Ry’s album “Prodigal Son”, which displays the importance Joachim’s sounds are to his Dad’s contemporary music. I spoke to Joachim about growing up in the Cooder household, drumming with Keltner, songwriting, the Mbira, and some of the incredible sessions he’s been involved with. Enjoy my conversation with Joachim Cooder and please subscribe to the podcast!

This was one of my favorite early episodes.  Cosmas Magya is a master of the Mbira ( a type of thumb piano) from the Shona tribe in Zimbabwe.  Here he performs and explains the way the instrument is used in ceremonies to contact ancestors.  We’ll also hear a track he recorded with another powerful Mbira player and vocalist Beauler Dyoko.

Choosing when to harvest as well as storage poses big problems for African farmers. The United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates that around a third of food is wasted globally every year. In Africa, that number can be as high as 50%. This is of major concern given the continent’s population increase. The problem begins the minute farmers have harvested. This is because choosing when to harvest, as well as storage, are big problems. In this week’s edition of Pasha, Jane Ambuko, a senior lecturer and head of horticulture at the University of Nairobi, takes us deeper into the issue of post harvest losses and why they’re such a big issue.

With Megan at Mizzou is Patience Munjeri, one of the only acclaimed female mbira players in the world.  She's in the middle of a very long US tour, taking her all over the country as a performer, lecturer, and coach for college ensembles.  It was so interesting to hear of the spiritual aspect of the instrument, as well as some of her personal stories coming of age as a woman who felt called to play the instrument.We have a slightly different format this week, with two recorded interviews as our content for you all.  With us at JMU is Rob Sanderl, who presented his class on Basel drumming for our students.  You can see the same thing at PASIC!

Cuzme and Rachel go into the origins of Fuhmentaboudit’s theme song and Zimbabwe culture, including the making of and the role of “seven-day beer” in traditional Zimbabwean Bira ceremonies. With special guests Musekiwa Chingodza (mbira master) and Nora Balaban (former owner of Tribal Soundz and currently from the world music ensemble Timbila). They speak of their connections through Nora’s store, mbira workshops, Chris Berry and Panjea, and traditional Zimbabwe culture and the role of beer specifically brewed for ceremonies.

In Botswana, each tribe has their own identifiable style of music. The Balete Ditlhaka traditional group, based in Ramotswa village in the south of Botswana, is one of the last groups keeping Ditlhaka music alive. Deputy Chief Kgosi Tsimane Mokgosi tells the stories of the Ditlhaka music, and the group's director and pipe tuner Sialala Mookestsi shares how he learnt Ditlhaka in the South African mines as a boy. In Botswana's capital Gaborone, a very different sound comes from inside a garden; Myzer Mathako plays his Mbira, moved by its spirit.

Join 'She' and Yeshe as they dive into his music, culture, creation,his perspective on life and the exploration of the world through sound.

  Os alunos do 8º B fizeram uma obra bem relaxada com um instrumento que o professor trouxe para a aula, a Sansula. É um instrumento de origem africana, como uma Kalimba ou Mbira (em Moçambique), mas assente numa pele. Ao longo da aula, com a força que a Ana fazia, a Sansula foi desafinando e chegou à hora da gravação bem desafinadinha... Baptizámos a peça como "Sansula Song"; tentem ouvir o efeito de wah-wah que tanto trabalho deu a conseguir...

Sequitur XIV was written for the Hamburg-based pianist and performer Jennifer Hymer and sets the thumb piano in focus. This instrument, named ‘Mbira’ in Africa, was discovered in the middle of the 20th Century from the British ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey, who developed out of it a standardized western instrument named ‘kalimba’, and let it be produced industrially. In contrast to the African original, this western new construction is tuned diatonically. First I tried to approach the instrument like a child in that I pushed away all knowledge about the high art of Mbira-practice to the side. What did I see before me? A trapezoidal shaped wooden box with metal blades of differing lengths that were fastened over a sound hole in the middle. After I examined the sound possibilities of the kalimba’s body through rubbing, scratching and knocking, I attached a contact microphone to its surface and sent the sounds through the same computer program that I had developed for the other “Sequitur” compositions. Suddenly everything became enchanted: the canonic layering of my knocking and scraping noises compressed themselves into a polyrhythmic layering and I felt myself being transported to the south of Africa where the African musicians play this instrument in ensemble and thereby produce a highly complex polyphony which the Viennese musicologist Gerhard Kubik described as “inherent patterns.” Only later I dedicated myself to the metal tines and through the help of live electronic manipulation found means and ways to dig out an ongoing diatonic. After many months of free experimenting, I was finally able to write a concisely written score for Jennifer Hymer, which turned my summing-ups of this instrument into a sound journey. Recorded at the premier at Klang!Container in Hamburg on Sep 13th, 2009 Info: http://www.essl.at/works/sequitur/sequitur-14.html
