Ngororombe from Mbira Korositina by Chartwell Dutiro and Mike Parnell
This track is inspired by another style of Shona music and dance involving ‘magaga’, gourds tied to the feet with shells attached, and a polyrhythmic mixture of voice and a type of pan-pipe, which Chartwell is recreating in his singing.
