SUMMARY:Camp Nharetare
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join us at Camp Nharetare (which refers to mbira dzematare\, mbira music which is played for the spirits to inspire more from the Creator)\, a camp which focuses on traditional mbira music\, dance\, drumming\, chipendani and hosho. The teachers of this camp are all ones who have been confirmed as mbira players by the Shona ancestors: \n\nWilbert Botsa\nMusekiwa Chingodza\nZvidzai Chirikure\nAlois Mutinhiri\nPatience Munjeri\n\nalso \n\nSekuru Chigamba – chipendani\nPeachson Ngoshi – hosho\n\nThrough this camp\, we will learn traditional mbira and drumming and chipendani. Further\, students will be able to seek spiritual help and healing in the rural area of Chiweshe. This is a wonderfully unique experience\, hosted by Zimbabweans\, and consisting of music steeped in Zimbabwe’s rich cultural and spiritual history. \nThe camp will be accessible to beginner and intermediate players\, while advanced players will be given extra instruction and challenges. \nEach guest teacher will spend between 1-2 days at the camp. The daily schedule will consist of learning a kushaura and a kutshinhira in the morning\, then learning the accompanying singing in the afternoon. Between mbira and singing\, there will also be hosho and dance lessons. \nIn the afternoons\, students will have the choice of resting\, shopping\, and visiting nearby places. In the evenings\, students will play together\, and will have individual instruction with the guest teacher. Patience will further assist in the teaching of mbira and singing. There will also be several cultural talks\, offering insights into Shona customs\, beliefs\, and language. One day will be devoted to learning traditional drumming in Chiweshe. \nThe fee for the full camp is $1850\, which includes a new mbira\, accommodations\, food (three meals/day – vegetarian option available)\, workshops\, cultural excursions\, and donations toward the sacred ceremony. Internet access will be available. We can make arrangements to pick you up from the airport and take you to Kufunda Village\, but you will need to pay for this separately (about $30). \nDaily rates and accommodations and meals for accompanying persons are also available (please see application form at the bottom for details) \nA $500 deposit for the camp is required by November 15\, 2018. Full payment is due by January 1\, 2019. Please see application form below for details. This is a safe time to travel in Zimbabwe. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about what to bring\, etc. \nUpdates will be posted on the Facebook event page Camp Nharetare 2019 with Patience Munjeri in Zimbabwe. \nI look forward to seeing you in Zimbabwe! \n–Patience Munjeri

SUMMARY:Nyunga Nyunga Workshop with Abel Mafuleni
DESCRIPTION:Come learn this beautiful and easy to learn traditional instrument from our highly-talented Zimbabwean guest Abel Mafuleni.  Beginners welcome.  If you don’t have your own instrument\, Kutisnhira can provide you one for the class. \nPlease RSVP to gary@kutsinhira.org \nAbout Abel \nAs a young\, highly recognized and awarded musician\, Abel has distinguished himself by creating deeply textured arrangements for marimba and mbira which range from Afro-Jazz to Zimbabwean sungura\, jiti\, and the traditional mbira repertoire. Under the tutelage of his parents\, Jacob Mafuleni and Martha Thom\, Abel’s Tsoro Arts Center marimba band went all the way to the finals of the 2017 Zimbabwean DreamStar Talent Show\, ultimately winning the runner-up prize in an achievement that was a first for a marimba band in that competition. He has taken first place in mbira nyunga nyunga competitions in Zimbabwe\, as well. North American audiences will especially love his fluency in various styles of music\, as well as his patient teaching style.
