Chartwell Dutiro - Changamire

[@NigelGo]

Chartwell taught mbira at the School of African & Asian Studies (SOAS) in London in the 90s...the most mellow teacher you could imagine. Lovely man. Used to play with Thomas Mapfumo and Blacks Unlimited back in the day.

I heard Chartwell when I was in my teens, 20 years ago. His music is a blessing. Love you Chartwell, RIP your music still reverbs here with us and in this cosmos and this life.

Randomly discovered this as a teenager on Tumblr, so sad to hear of his passing - this song has given me a lot of comfort and peace

This is awesome! I discovered Chartwell's music on Pandora Radio one day. (The song was Changamire: Africa Calling Mix) I remember checking out a few of his albums. I fell in love with Mbira. He is definitely one of the most nicest people I met.

Hello Yvette do you know if any copies the CD "TaDenDa" still exist , or in fact whether people actually know they still hav it : it's a CD which is nearly 18 years old !

[@Strravigor]

I like this song

[@GyourgeTube]

I've had a couple of workshops with chartwell and he's an utterly incredible man. Meeting with him tomorrow for a mbira class😁 absolutely love this track :) thanks for uploading!

[@georginarucklidge9118]

Changamire (The Respected One) was also track 1 on Chartwell Dutiro "TaDenDa" : (Thankyou ... or ...Many Thanks ) : his self released CD with the distinctive yellow cover - not a comercially available CD from a record company. The CD is very difficult to find these days ; the track on that CD is similar to what this take sounds like , but Chartwell Dutiro was accompanied by Nicola Purtell (vocal backing) , and also by Christopher Morphitis on guitar. I did hav a copy in 2006 ; does anyone else possess one?

[@Leprecaun123]

@lobajii The musicians on the album are Chartwell Dutiro, Elmar Pohl, and Sebastian Pott :)

[@babacarxalifa]

Nice song my Bro!

[@isabellajeso5957]

Thank you.

[@kashi2012]

lobajii ... the answer is that it does not actually mention who playsd hosho. Elmar Pohl is a master of precise time hosho (& great spoons player), Chartwell Dutiro more rhythmic & deep. I can't tell which this might be ... maybe its neither? Album apparently recorded one afternoon at home. Superb mbira throughout. Totally recommended CD, the Marenje is a dense jungle!

[@GyourgeTube]

Are you sure this is changamire? It sounds really different to the Chartwell Changamire I bought on iTunes :P

[@Leprecaun123]

George Day This was from a CD I bought from him. Unless it's titled wrong on the CD?

[@123jddg]

George Day It could just be in a different tuning from the version you got on iTunes. This sounds like Changamire in Dindinyongwe village tuning to me.

[@GyourgeTube]

Jeffrey Golay hmmmmm I went onto iTunes and bought 'Changamire, Africa Calling Mix' but that sounds like a totally different song to me... Joe do you know which CD it is? I'd really like to buy it!

[@Leprecaun123]

George Day Sure! chartwelldutiro.com/music/ It's called Chivaraidze. I don't know how to buy it online though. I bought it from him personally.

[@joribuchel]

Hi guys. This is Changamire. The song on Africa Calling mix is actually Kuzanga. I don't know why they used the title Changamire there.
