And you can play it

Cute animation of a Zimbabwean girl who learns to play the mbira (the instrument was traditionally played by men, but in recent years Zimbabwean women have increasingly taken up the instrument).

How the instrument sounds:

@AudioConsulting

Zimbabwe has the best sounding country name

Have one in my room. Can’t play it tho lol

Bout to make some fire

Yooo pic? Where'd you pick it up? I'm guessing you're Zimbabwean?

Rolls off the lips nicely

Bout to hear some mbira sample flips from you

Nah my dads Nigerian but I got it way back just visiting an African museum of some sort in DC

Didn’t even know the name of it until I just took a world music class this past semester

Every time I hear mbira I will think of gritness project with the mbira player. 😳

I had one of these as a kid, idk if i was using it right but my fingers used to be hella sore

How you dey my friend? My Mother was from Ekpoma

You should play the Google game, blow the dust off that and give it a spin

Hidden gem for sure
Those tones send shivers through me

Tf are those captions

"NON ENGLISH SINGING" duh

I wouldn’t know where to start before today and now I wish I had one

If your fingers were sore and it sounded nice, you probably naturally had it

But amazing instrument anyway

Song in OP is fire

Gonna have a go on this later

Colonization will do that. The whites used to call it Rhodesia.

Dope song in OP, btw.

How to kill a country 101 😔

This song really enchanting

Oh my God

I hope this was done by a bot because if not

Even still you’d think a bot by Google will be more fine tuned

How’d I completely miss that
