With its roots from the Southern African region, the mbira, kalimba musical
instrument is believed to have been in existence for more than a thousand years
to this period and more developed in Zimbabwe, particularly among the
Shona-speaking people.

Other variations of mbira were made in Zambia such as karimba, mucapata and
sansa in Tanzania and kalimbe in central Africa. Now, the African instrument is
being produced in European and Asian countries as a thumb piano.

Mbira is more than just an instrument. In Zimbabwe it carries a significant
role in the country’s tradition and culture, and carries a traditional musical
identity.

Because of the traditional history of mbira, today people think every mbira
player as a spirit medium, which is not the case. “It does not mean every mbira
player is a spirit medium, if that were the case we would have seen a lot of
foreigners being spirit mediums of African ancestors. It is just like any other
musical instrument like a guitar or a piano and of course because of its
soothing sound can be used for meditation and as background music for yoga
lovers.
