Mbira dzeMuninga is a four-piece ensemble that plays traditional mbira music from the Shona people of Zimbabwe. Jacob Mafuleni, Micah Munhemo, Tonderai Ndava and Peacheson Ngoshi are known as gwenyambiras (master mbira players) in their country, to recognize their roles in traditional spiritual ceremonies of the Shona people. These performances have rekindled an interest in traditional music among young urban Zimbabweans more accustomed to Western forms of popular music. Their music is an expression of joy rooted in the Shona culture of Zimbabwe.

Local faves Wagogo open the show.
