Can't recommend this enough!
I play this CD over and over at work when things get busy and I am feeling stressed. It is the most gentle and soothing music I think I have ever heard. Mbira is a musical instrument from Zimbabwe and it is believed that playing it is a way to talk to the spirits, to the spiritual world. I think that's what happens when you listen to this music - your spirit awakens, opens and relaxes...

dialo's way off base
Dialo your racist views have you blinded. Um, did you know that Erica Azim, the creator of Healing Music of Zimbabwe is "White"???? So get of your soap box and stop adding to the hatred in the world.

Here is a quote from the CD (which I doubt that Dialo even owns) "Erica Azim is a Californian who fell in love with traditional Shona mbira music when she first heard it at the age of 16. Erica became one of the first people from outside Zimbabwe to study with traditional mbira masters. At that time, Zimbabwe was racist Rhodesia in the throes of a liberation war. Touched by the arrival of a young white woman who respected ancient Shona tradition -- a stark contrast with the white government that reviled it-- musicians extended a warm welcome. Erica is now known in Zimbabwe as a gwenyambira -- a skilled performer qualified to play at traditional ceremonies and accepted by the ancient spirits of the Shona."

Open your eyes Dialo -- this music is for brothers and sisters of ALL COLORS -- red, white, yellow, brown, and black.

The CD is excellent, everyone should own it.

This is a fine CD!
The recent criticisms of this CD are ridiculous,& an insult to the memory of Ephat Mujuru,who was a friend of Erica K Azim.Ephat Mujuru brought this beautiful music to the rest of the world,and died on a plane trip to visit one of those non-African countries.This CD is a recording that is respected by the people of Zimbabwe & non-Africans alike. To those who criticize the CD due to the fact that it was made by a non-African,shame on you.
