  • It's a harpsichord (clavecin), tuned in the one of the zimbabwe scales, which has not the same structure than ours.

  • He is not playing a mbira. That is a string instrument. The sound is not of a mbira and if you listen closely, you can hear the slides. He simply applied the mbira cords on the strings. A genius musician, and a beautiful piece.

  • Very Uplifting Music! I enjoyed how slightly out of tune it is . SOunds more natural that way.

  • i love how it subtly changes from a simple to compound meter almost imperceptibly

  • beautiful song!

  • best essay music EVER

  • this is awesome! i really wish someone would put up untitled.

  • this is my ma playing this piece with kevin! privilege to know the guy, going to his concert in a couple weeks

  • African or not, I love this piece!

  • wow, i thought Kevin Volans was just a "one hit wonder" with "white man sleeps" but this piece is amazing!
