About the event
Wild Eye Pub hosts an evening of gorgeous traditional music from Zimbabwe!
Local musician Robert Heirendt will be joined by his friends Ric Alviso and Chris Middleton (Los Angeles) for a special performance of traditional Zimbabwean mbira music.
The mbira dzavadzimu is an ancient instrument from Zimbabwe consisting of metal keys mounted over a bridge on a hardwood soundboard. Mbira music has been played for over a millennium in Zimbabwe. Two mbira players perform complex interlocking patterns on the 22-24 key mbira dzavadzimu and are accompanied by hosho (gourd shakers) and vocals.
Come on out for a night of ancient trance music!
