Musekiwa Chingodza was born into a family of great
mbira players in Mwangara village, Murewa, Zimbabwe,
in 1970. He began playing mbira at the age of five and
is self-taught. Through listening to other gwenyambira,
or great mbira players, he developed a strong attachment
to and love for mbira music. He says, “Our music is both
medicine and food, as mbira has the power to heal and
to provide for people. Mbira pleases both the living and
the dead.” He is an excellent singer, dancer and drummer
and plays both mbira dzavadzimu and nyunga nyunga.
