	Ephat Mujuru: Afropop Artist --
		Ephat Mujuru was raised in a small village in Manicaland, near the Mozambiquan border, and taught to play the mbira by his grandfather, Muchatera Mujuru.
		At his Rhodesian-run Catholic school, young Mujuru's teachers told him that to play mbira was a "sin against God." This irritated Muchatera so much that he withdrew his grandson and sent him to school in an African township outside the capital, Salisbury, present day Harare.
		Mujuru played all of Zimbabwe's five types of mbira, but his specialty is the popular mbira dzavadzimu.

	Ephat Mujuru: Journey of the Spirit - PopMatters Music Review
		Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who was considered to have a direct line to the Shona ancestor spirit Chaminuka, Mujuru had been making hits in his home country since 1972, when he was just 22 years old.
		Mujuru croons for the first passage of the song, and then shifts to a kind of jazz scatting for a bit.
		And an unusual sound is achieved on the closing track, "Taireva", when Mujuru attaches a line of bottle caps to the top of the resonator gourd.

		--> Mujuru is one of the world's most accomplished players of the mbiri, an African thumb piano consisting of narrow iron keys bound to a wooden soundbox.
		With only this deceptively simple-looking instrument and a resonant singing/speaking voice, he creates a moving presence on this, one of only three of his recordings available in the US.
		The centerpiece is "Chamakanda," a moral fable about the importance of keeping secrets; it's told in a charmingly understated manner by Mujuru, his words underscored by the soft metallic tinkling of his instrument.

		Ephat Mujuru lurked on the east coast, doing much the same.
		Here we find that those differences are not as great as we would have been led to believe, that the spiritual ancestors of each share the same plane, the same history, and those spirits have come together in the studio to inspire a lovely, simple and ultimately powerful recording.
		Solo and in duet, with only elemental wood and steel instruments, Maraire and Mujuru have found a bright, warm light and turned it into music.

		Mujuru moved to the U.S., but his heart remained strongly rooted at home.

	'Ancient Wisdom: Songs and Fables..' by Ephat Mujuru from The Portsmouth Chorus.
		The mbira, a thumb piano from Zimbabwe, is an instrument used for trance induction and healing--it soothes the soul, accompanies storytellers, and inspires children and elders to dance.
		On "Chamakanda Ephat" Mujuru plays mbira and tells, in English, the humorous folktale of the man with big ears, a story that teaches the value of honesty and integrity.
		The solo instrumentals on this release really shine--on the surface they are simple and repetitive, but they subtly shift and quietly reveal depths of mystery in the music.
