Soul Resonance: Zimbabwean music spreading in North America and beyond
A preview of this documentary by Doug and Laurel Epps can be found at the website Dandemutande Zimbabwean Music Worldwide. This documentary looks at the popularization of marimba and mbira ensembles in the United States. While there are some exoticizing comments, and others that are Americentric (can I make that a term?), the soundtrack is almost purely marimbas and mbiras. And we can even listen to our very own Tendai.
