Mushawaparara Mbira group is a must in the narrative of mbira in Zimbabwe over the years. They’ve gone a bit quiet recently but they are definitely one of the groups that got lots of Zimbabweans dancing to mbira on the airwaves. Their song Mbavha Nemuroyi with it’s brilliant story and comic video was a big hit on Mutinhimhira Weumhanzi/Ezomgido the most popular television show of local Zimbabwean music. If you’ve not come cross this collection on YouTube take time to familiarise yourself and buy the album (available on Itunes or Google Play) if it is worthy of your ears. Enjoy
