Mbira - Shumba

Aeolian mode little firecracker... I like this mbira. Zimbabwean made, unknown maker. At least 20 years old and made as this tuning, making me curious about it's origin. Just a fun jam to share. At 3:45 I went for the "L7" key up on the very left of the middle register, but this mbira doesn't have it! Then on my descending line I landed on the wrong note because I had been thrown off for a moment :) Just a glimpse into the moment, saw this watching it after the fact and realized that was why that very wrong note was in the thread, my trance was broken with a missing key :) Check out my patreon subscription if you want all the outtakes, random video/audio recordings, notes to self, and other explorations. 100% of proceeds go to mbira related activities, especially ones that patron Zimbabwean mbira players and makers. www.patreon.com/mbiraseth
