  • Music from just about everywhere this week, and focusing on Zimbabwe

May 10- We land in Zimbabwe to check in on what’s new there, and also to explore the history of the area’s music. The sound of sungura (exemplified by the long running band Khiama Boys), the most popular dance music in Zimbabwe, and also folk music centered around the mbira (the small but mighty “thumb piano”) and the music of rebellion with its roots in the struggle for independence.
