about

In the Shona language, "Madzinga" means prayers. Recorded in the final days before Zimbabwe's lockdown, this special solo release fulfills one of Sekuru Chigamba's longstanding musical ambitions, allowing him to multitrack all of the parts in a typical mbira ensemble - kushaura, kutsinhira, hosho, makwa (handclapping), and kuimba (singing). The album is recorded exclusively in mavembe or gandanga tuning. The first five songs are Sekuru's own original compositions, and the last two are his unique interpretations of songs from the mbira's traditional repertory.
