Показать описание
VanaMai which means ‘The Mothers’ is a mass call to modern women to embrace the healing powers of the mbira to help face today’s challenging times. Originally played predominantly by men, the mbira has been used for thousands of years by the Shona people of Zimbabwe for healing ceremonies.

The melodic and rhythmic cycle encompassed in VanaMai draws the listener into a state of meditation. Multi instrumentalist Anna combines her powerful vocals with the mbira, African drums and shakers so that thoughts and emotions in your soul will feel healed after listening to it, encouraging feelings of empowerment and liberation.

VanaMai (The Mothers) lyrics

Welcome Mothers
Welcome Mothers

Mbira of the ancestors belongs to us too
The songs belong to us all
The way we dance was passed down from our ancestors

So I welcome you

Mbuya Chiweshe lead the way
Mbuya Bhula paved the way
Chiwoniso gave us the determination to play the mbira today

To play mbira of the ancestor
To play Njari
To play Nyunga Nyunga
Ululation and whistling

Fathers beat the drums
Young man play the hosho so that the young women may dance.
