“Mbira is like breathing. It does not disturb you from doing what you’ve been doing already. It brings a lot of intuition. It scratches the deepest part of a human being. What it does, when a person hears it, it goes straight and touches the soul, the root of the soul. Mbira comes in to give you the answers to the questions that you’ve been asking yourself. So the answer comes from within.” - Ambayu Stella Chiwesha
