Join for a mbira workshop with Dr Tawona Sitholé. The art of crafting and playing the mbira is inscribed on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The practice was banned for years as part of a cultural repression programme and only survived because of brave souls hiding the instrument and keeping the knowledge alive in secret. Through this workshop, we honour those people and help preserve and pass on the music.
This event is part of Refugee Festival Scotland.
