Stella Chiweshe - "Chisi"

Description

"Stella's repertoire stretches from straight classical pieces to bubbly uptempo jigs. The mbira ripples and chimes like a xylophone, and sounds remarkable galloping alongside shimmering guitars and pulsating drums." (fRoots) This mercilessly grooving album cycles through all variation of poossible mbira sounds. For the first time on record the technically perfect recording makes the essential junction of mbira and hosho (rattle) audible. Mbira and marimba together create irresistible dance grooves while traditional western drumset, electric guitar and bass drive along in inimitable Zimbabwean fashion.
