MBIRA the Non-Profit Organization

MBIRA (http://www.mbira.org) is a non-profit organization that celebrates and helps to sustain the ancient musical traditions of Zimbabwe.  MBIRA supports Zimbabwean musicians and instrument makers, and their families, through worldwide Zimbabwean music education, recordings, and performances. MBIRA has also created the largest archive of Shona mbira music in the world, which is a permanent resource for generations to come.  MBIRA collects donations (tax-deductible in the US) to purchase mbira instruments for Zimbabwean schools, and subsidize additional royalties to over 250 traditional musicians in Zimbabwe on our CDs (available at http://mbira.org as CDs or Downloads).
