Headed back out to Murehwa on the weekend for a bira ceremony, stopping at Musekiwa's kumusha en route (if a 2 hour walk in and out can be considered en route) to record some ngoma with his brothers.
Jiti style ngoma like this is usually played by youths at night, most often during a full moon. On Saturday it was mid-day, and hot, but they went for it. Below, left to right: Tapera, Musekiwa, Musekiwa's son Tinashe, and Tapiwa.
We were supposed to record marimba as well, but ran out of room on the SD card.
At the end of the walk out on Saturday evening, approaching the Chigogodza shops to get a lift to the ceremony.
