With the overthrow of Apartheid and the onset of peace in the region, Zimmedia turned its attention to the cultural richness of Zimbabwe. Mbira Music celebrates the power of Zimbabwean music, opening an unlikely door to the country’s recent history. Music carries the spirit of Zimbabwean people. From traditional rituals of music and dance, through the choruses of the Liberation War, to the songs of popular musicians and farmer choirs. Music is played at home and at the nightclub, in town and in the bush. There is a song to continue a war, another to stop it, and a third to plant a field of maize. The film features a wide range of artists from Zimbabwean superstars Oliver Mtukudzi and Thomas Mapfumo to a boy band playing on tin cans in the bush.
