interesting! I've heard that chigamba means patch and that young people shouldn't judge older people with patches on their clothes. As in it's not what you wear but who you are that matters. I guess both tranlations are in the same vein at least! Cheers.
Thought i would share a bit of history regarding chigamba Apparently the track chigamba was first played about 1000 years ago, As it says in the notes its literal translation is patch of cloth, however, it also means being a hero, Derrived from the word Gamba, It is sang " hona chigamba chinoda wakura...toita sei nyika ya guma" the track and words were originally supposed to mean, dont be a hero young one, leave it to the elder wiser ones who know what they are doing, CONTINUES BELOW
even if you find yourself at worlds end summon us and dont be a hero, this is what the lyrics meant but not what they translated into literally. However with the years and wheel of time, the translation got lost, At bira ceremonies, the track chigamba is popular with maKombwe, which is a type of water spirit as they are the ones who are said to understand its true meaning and how it was originally played for one of the first watersprites.

sweet melody, a bit too fast though for a leaner to pick the key sequences. Great tutorial all the same!
