It consists of metal keys attached by a wooden support structure. Normally, the African mbira has 4-20 keys, but there also exist mbiras with 45 keys. One of the ethnic groups of people of Zimbabwe, the Rosvi, are called \"Mbira people\".\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny folk song presupposes dance, but in Africa, dance is impossible to separate from a song. Music and dance accompany African birth, growing up, initiation, marriage, the birth of children, death, as well as most social activity, such as hunting, planting and gathering.\u003cbr\u003eMusic is often associated in Africa with magic. As the African proverb says: \"the spirit cannot ascend to heaven without a song\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis educational book will help you begin to play music simply and easily.

Our sheet music is universal and suitable for any 8-, 10- or 17- note kalimbas and mbiras.\u003cbr\u003eFollow the numbers and begin to play!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome melodies might have been changed and simplified to be played in the diatonic range. If your thumb piano has flat keys, it is recommended that you use classic sheet music for the piano. Also, we added a QR code to all songs. You can follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.\u003c\/p\u003eList of 31 African songs for kalimba: \u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAchta ta ta ta ta. \u003ci\u003eSong from Morocco\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAskari Eee. \u003ci\u003eSong from Tanzania\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtadwe. \u003ci\u003eSong from Ghana\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanaha. \u003ci\u003eSong from Congo\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanuwa. \u003ci\u003eSong from Liberia\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBebe Moke. \u003ci\u003eSong from Congo\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore Dinner. \u003ci\u003eSong from Congo\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChe Che Koolay. \u003ci\u003eSong from Ghana\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoco Laye-Laye. \u003ci\u003eSong from Congo\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo Do Ki Do. \u003ci\u003eSong from Cameroon\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEh Soom Boo Kawaya. \u003ci\u003eSong from Nigeria\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunga Alafia. \u003ci\u003eSong from Ghana\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKanzenzenze. \u003ci\u003eSong from Congo\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKotiko. \u003ci\u003eSong from Congo\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL'abe Igi Orombo. \u003ci\u003eSong from Nigeria\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManamolela. \u003ci\u003eSong from South Africa\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMayo Nafwa. \u003ci\u003eSong from Zambia\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObwisana. \u003ci\u003eSong from Ghana\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlouf Tizen Tizen. \u003ci\u003eSong from Algeria\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSansa Kroma. \u003ci\u003eSong from Ghana\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSélinguenia. \u003ci\u003eSong from Kenya\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShosholoza. \u003ci\u003eSong from South Africa\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSindi. \u003ci\u003eSong from Burkina Faso\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSiyahamba. \u003ci\u003eSong from South Africa\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSiyanibingelela. \u003ci\u003eSong from South Africa\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStick Passing Song. \u003ci\u003eSong from Uganda\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUmele. \u003ci\u003eSong from South Africa\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWa Wa Wa. \u003ci\u003eSong from Congo\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelcome Song. \u003ci\u003eSong from Uganda\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZimbole. \u003ci\u003eSong from South Africa\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZomina. \u003ci\u003eSong from Togo\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50495339954450,"sku":"9798706357269","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_76c78934-c25f-4c1f-976d-518f8c75bb97.jpg?v=1737217416","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/kalimba-31-easy-to-play-african-songs-songbook-for-beginners-9798706357269","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
