Me transporta, q gusto disfrutar de esta música.

As Sandielle pointed out,

This is Penguin Cafe's version of Nhemamusasa, a traditional mbira piece known to have been played for at least 700 years in Zimbabwe. If you enjoy this song, I encourage you to check out Cosmas Magaya, Ambuya Bueler Dyoko, Musekiwa Chingodza, The Soul of Mbira compilation series, Ephat Mujuru, Dumisani Maraire, and Thomas Mapfumo, for excellent Shona music.

Theirs is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Got the self-titled and Preludes, Airs and Yodels.

I like the video, it's wonderfully simple and goes with the song really well.
