Zimbabwe children learn to play the mbira

The mbira is a traditional African instrument that has been played in Zimbabwe for more than 800 years.

For years, it was mainly played at religious rituals, weddings and social gatherings.

Now there is a pilot programme by the Mbira Centre in Harare that aims to teach children in schools how to play the instrument.
