Chartwell teaches Mbira, dance, percussion and singing in community and school settings nationally and internationally.
Chartwell grew up in rural Zimbabwe and started playing the mbira when he was four. Chartwell and his brother would often play mbira all night, calling the ancestral spirits for guidance, as has been done in Zimbabwe over centuries.
As a teenager Chartwell joined the Salvation Army band, and when he moved to the capital, Harare, he played in a military marching band. From 1986 to 1994 he toured the world with the legendary ‘Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited’ . Since 1994, Chartwell has been based in Britain, performing, recording, teaching, and building bridges through his music.
Chartwell is also the Artistic Director of Mhararano Mbira Academy.
