For my fellow mbira enthusiasts

Just listened to this great interview of celebrated Ghanian writer Ama Ata Aidoo where she challenges the interviewer to stop describing an “occupied space which [he hasn’t] seen or experienced” as ’empty’. Got me thinking of some criticism of  young Zimbabwean players.  Great interview and the clip is just under 5 minutes long.
