I agree it gives you a special feeling, my anxiety disappear for the duration I listen to the beautiful mbira sounding like raindrops and the shona chants healing and I have no idea what the song is about

As a Canadian, I find it fascinating how music like this can unite an entire ethnic group (the Shona people) and connect them to the spiritual world. Those high notes that Jenny made sounded so ethereal and she sang them with passion. RIP Jenny Muchumi June 9, 1950 - 2010/2011 RIP Cosmas Magaya October 5, 1953 - July 10, 2020

K M this tune and others like Chemutengure, Chipindura, Karigamombe, Dhakwa, Nyamaropa and many others are traditional tunes handed down to us by our ancestors. Nobody owns these tunes. They are part of our collective heritage as Zimbabweans. All our musicians are free to make recourse to these heritage tunes and adapt them as they create new music.
