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.

It's a fine CD
And the recent anti-white criticism of this CD is an insult to the memory of the recently deceased Ephat Mujuru,who helped bring this beautiful music to other parts of the world. He died as a result of a heart attack while travelling to a non-African country.He had many friends that were not African,Erica K Azim being one of those friends.Your anti-white criticism of this album is an insult to everything that music lovers of all races hold dear.Shame on you.

more authentic is available
try listening to a Zimbabwe musician play this instrument, you will hear the difference. Support Zimbabwe musicians by purchasing their music, there are plenty of genuine Zimbabwe CD's available.

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.

Jim

Musical for the Spirit world
Man, No gospel and any other kind of missionary, white (Christian) religion here, but African , man. And what a religion! This is music is part of our animistic religion, bringing you in touch with the spirit world!
