Tinovatenda

about

Tinovatenda means, "We thank thee, spirits." As Sekuru Chigamba recounts:

"Tinovatenda" became a chosen song. But at first, I just thought, “Oh, let me entertain myself, as a person who plays mbira.” Then I heard, “Oh, something exciting is happening here!” And then I continued moving forward. So then, whenever we used to start playing mbira, I would begin with that song. It had become like a mbira anthem. So once we had played it, with everyone listening quietly, then we would play whatever else we played.
