Mbira huru dzaVadzimu means the “great mbira (thumb piano) of the ancestral spirits”.
Here are some lessons at YouTube by Ikeme from Baltimore, the Mbira0racle (note the zero in his nickname).
Mbira0racle (November 20, 2007): KarigaMombe is the first piece from the Shona repertoire that every Mbira musician must learn. Here is a version that I was taught by Manasa who taught at the Zimbabwe College of Music in 2002. Here it is played on a Newton Gwara Mbira dzaVadzimu.
Mbira0racle (October 09, 2007): Here's an old version of KarigaMombe.
Mbira0racle (October 25, 2007): I'm playing KarigaMombe Ne Pasi again, but this time I thought to comment as I play so you can hear the different octave pairings and polyrhythmic structure of the piece.
Mbira0racle (April 16, 2008): Let your Mbira teach you! Here with the teaching piece of the Shona repertoire.
Mbira0racle (January 09, 2009): Performance practice...
Mbira0racle (January 12, 2009): There are more variations in this version I play, there are so many more to include, so stay tuned as I develop this piece further.
