Ancient Healing Music *A wonderful article written by Caven Masuku (with liberal editing by Lillian Brummet) that shares how shaman used music as part of their ancient healing methods - how this is being revived and the joy of traditional African music. " When I first listened to the mbira sound, I wanted to hear more and more. I could not stop it, I was sick until I learned to play, so I could hear these sounds. ", said Zimbabwe's Mbira Queen maestro, Stella Rambisai Chiweshe. The above experience is not unique to Stella, (as she is known by her legions of fans), Those same feelings also inspired the only Mbira music ensemble in Gweru, the Midlands Mbira Crew,  to the traditional beat.

Although we are not aware of this, at least in two ways we can react to discourses. Specifically, we can enjoy or appreciate them.
