DESCRIPTION:
Zimbabwean mbira player and mbira maker Josephat Mandaza has put this ancient vocal song to mbira. The song, "Stretch out your leg so I can take the thorn from your foot" deals with a troublesome person who is a problem in the village, and how this is dealt with, traditional-style. Interestingly, the thorn symbolizes 3 things: a bad person, bad magic, good magic. Get the whole album at https://mbira.org/product/josephat-mandaza-2014-mavembe-tuning-mbira-vocals/.
