	2002 Zimbabwean Music Festival: Mbira Workshops
		Cosmas will teach the kushaura and, time permitting, the kutsinhira to Karigamombe, which means “one who knocks down a cow.” Parents and children are encouraged to both register and learn to play the mbira together.
		Learn kushaura, kutsinhira, and singing to “The cattle have come.” This song is sung after cattle have been paid to compensate an ngozi (aggrieved spirit).
		Prerequisite: Participants must have played mbira for at least 5 years and be familiar and comfortable with playing kutsinhira parts whose bass notes emphasize the off-beat of the hosho pattern.

		After a few notes or cycles, the kutsinhira player enters at the point in the cycle that he hears - possibly a completely different point from the one where the kushaura player began.
		This requires an extremely complex solo style which leaves the musician and listeners satisfied that both kushaura and kutsinhira are present.
		Kutsinhira (response) vocals may be added by other mbira players or anyone else present.

		The identity of the piece may be clear and the individual musician's typical style is evident, but each time the performance is fresh, new and totally expressive of the present moment.
		Because mbira players are considered to be hearing the sound of the mbira continuously, when the kushaura musician begins to play there is no fixed point in the cycle to be considered as the "beginning." The player is merely joining in with the music already being heard.
		This requires an extremely complex solo style that must leave both musician and listeners satisfied that both kushaura and kutsinhira are present.

	Mbira.org: Teaching mbira
		While my playing was not quite traditional because kushaura and kutsinhira notes were mixed together, the songs were recognizable to Zimbabweans and I became intimately familiar with the location of sounds on my instrument.
		What is relevant to my development as an mbira teacher is the fact that I gradually began to understand much about the system of Shona mbira improvisation and kutsinhira part development, which I wished that I had been taught from the start.
		He was taught in the traditional way and, being a quick learner, mastered basic kushaura and kutsinhira parts to many pieces.

	Mbira
		Mbira music lends itself to rhythmic and melodic diversity, and entails a great deal of improvisation, qualities common to African traditional music.
		The compositions usually consist of a main melodic part (kushaura), and a secondary melodic part (kutsinhira).
		A special attention should be paid to the combination of quadruple (4/4) and triple 3/4 meters within the rhythmic structure of the music.
