A great introduction to this ancient African instrument, Learning Mbira by B. Michael Williams offers a very accessible collection of basic repertoire for the mbira. Tunes are transcribed in both Western notation and a style of tablature notation that is accessible to both experienced musicians as well as those with little prior musical training. Includes background information on each tune, as well as bibliography & discography.
Includes 2 CDs featuring recordings of the material in the book.
