    Mbira Sanctuary
    Meditative mbira music
    The mbira is an ancient instrument from Africa that is played with the thumbs and/or the fingers depending upon style. Mbira Sanctuary is an acoustic recording of mbira songs composed and performed by Kevin Nathaniel. As the title suggests, it is a musical sanctuary, a peaceful place where the mbira sound echoes in joyous melody and rhythm. The tracks feature various mbira styles with a sparse reed flute accompaniment. The CD is dedicated to the spirit of peace, of meditation, of dance, and to the ancestors. Suitable for any occasion, Mbira Sanctuary is an offering toward the future of mbira.
