Customer Reviews:

  Healing Music (30 September 2002)
I bought this CD for my World Music Class at Canisius College. I started to play it while driving home from the record store in my car. The first song was so soothing and comforting that I actually started tearing up as I drove. I later found out that this is an "off-loading" song meant to take one's worries and troubles away. Works for me!

Af riend of mine was recently in a car accident. I sent her my original copy to help her heal; I am here to buy a replacement copy.

  Good stuff (04 February 2002)
Like that one. Real, traditional African music and ambiance, all African-made. Though not one of my very favorites, the very best is Maraire's Chaminuka, or Soul of Mbira. But you won't waste your money here, that's no pseudo-African, white commercial band playing, man.

  Another great Mbira CD (23 May 2001)
If you are a fan of the Mbira and its music, this is one CD not to miss. I have a few in my collection and this is one of the best. The music is so well done that you feel you are there watching and listening with the masters and masters they are. I own a small version of the Mbira they use and it is NOT an easy thing to play! Hats off to the recording engineers and the players. This is a keeper.

  truly the masters (08 October 2000)
An excellent sound quality recording of some the true masters of Shona music. It is difficult to find this type of ancient mbira music without the wonderful but distracting sounds of the village in the background, as they have to be recorded on location. This is one of those rare recordings that brings the authenticity of music together with modern recording technology. A must for all lovers of the peaceful lullabies of the Mbira.
