Samaita Botsa and Erica Azim will perform a free concert of traditional Shona mbira (“thumb piano”) music of Zimbabwe at La Mesa Library. Samaita Vitalis Wilbert Botsa, our visiting artist from Zimbabwe, and Erica Azim, who hails from the Bay Area, share a passion for the traditional forms of Shona mbira music from Zimbabwe and enjoy sharing them with the world through concerts, lecture-demonstrations, and hands-on mbira workshops. Both are extremely accomplished mbira players and singers, creating complex waves of sound that seem impossible to produce with only two thumbs, one finger, and this small instrument, deceptively simple in appearance.
