Description / content note: He says the instrument he plays belonged to his father who lived South of the Zambezi near Sena, but who migrated about 150 miles north up the Shire river tributary to the Zambezi into Nyasaland. The old man was so pleased with his performance that when we played back his recording he immediately began to play himself in accompaniment. Self delectative song with Mbira.
