    How about instead of sugar coating history and removing these objects let’s reconsider how we display them instead of removing them completely. The Tsantsa was a way of life for shuar and by removing it completely your removing their history and using it for your own “ political agendas.”

    I saw a lady(Kalimba youtube channel) saying the "kalimba" is not an African instrument..I was instantly infuriated. Trying to differentiate the concept Hugh Tracey stole from the Mbira. Whether you tune it different and make it fancy, it's still a Mbira. We know how they like to rewrite history for their own benefit.

  • @couragedzvaka3924

    Im C Dzvaka , I play njari type of mbira. Its about to face extinction, I think it will be good to have it protected. Thank you for trying to make the world see the truth. The youth used to play karimba where they played songs of their ages. But the major types of mbira which where historically common in revoking the spirits are 1) mbira dzevadzimu like the one you are holding. 2) njari mbira this type of mbira has many keys and is difficult to play or even teach someone. So most people chose to show case types of mbira which are easy to play and display them as the entire history of mbira. These two types of mbira were the major ones played in Zimbabwe back then. We also have other types of mbira like matepe and nyonganyonga these mbira are originally from Mozambique . Nyonganyon do have very few key, easy to make , does not evoke our ancestors and became the major mbira to be played in schools. Indirectly this type of mbira is being showcased more than the actual mbiras that evoke our spirits eg. Njari mbira and mbiradzevadzimu. Matepe can also do but for a small group of people historically associated with Mozambican people. They only got the chance to take their mbira to the international community even though Mbiradzevadzimu and Njari mbira marks the real and truthful history of mbira in Zimbabwe. Njari mbira is very difficult to play, I can play it very well. I wanted to open a youtube account but does not have the know how and controls. My email is( couragedzvaka@gmail.com ) i want to have the njari mbira equally known . I can sensationally play this mbira with a passion. Communication can yield us good . thank you

    • @cathytai
      @cathytai 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am learning to play a 35 key Mbira, I can't imagine how difficult a njari would be. How could we help save this instrument from vanishing? Are there still artisans who craft them? I would consider ordering one if you could point me to a teacher so I can learn to play it.

    • @karik.8291
      @karik.8291 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@cathytai There is a project online (Sympathetic Resonances) trying to collect data and stop the diversity of mbira types from going extinct, njari is on there among others. You can find general information on the different types of instruments and efforts to make them more popular. If you make a free user account, you can access song notations and also make/store your own - the idea is to make it possible to learn the instruments even if you don't have access to a teacher. If you write the creator of the website an e-mail, he could maybe also tell you how to get in contact with a mbira maker that can craft njari. (I wrote this comment before, came back to the video and couldn't find it anymore. So I assume it was deleted because I tried to post a link to the site - apologies though if I've made a mistake and you're seeing this comment twice :D)

    66 And in the vision of 1993, I saw men coming to me from all the races of the earth for a paradise in which the former Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists and Christians will sit together in the presence of God. The Indian, the Chinese, the Arab and the black African will sit together. While the wicked and the proud of the earth, the racists and those who have no humility and love for others and who want a paradise for their religion or church will take tunnels and go to Satan in different compartments, while waiting for the judgment and eternal hell of the Naraka. 67 Today, the power of holiness, perfection, resurrection and rapture is only in the Message of the Lamb of April 24, 1993 that you have received while I am alive on the earth. The power of redemption is what the Words of a prophet of God produce on those who believe in Him while this prophet is alive on the earth. And therefore, the words of Krishna, Buddha, Mahomet, Moses, Jesus of Nazareth, and of the prophets who are already dead cannot give salvation to anyone today. In the walk of the living and the dead towards God, the living prophets and their disciples are the only actors on the earth. And if today, for your time, you have rejected the living prophet of your time who is Kacou Philippe, know that you have voluntarily chosen to go to hell. www.philippekacou.org

    As South Sudanese grapple with their future, aided by the strong diaspora in the US, UK and elsewhere, it’s important to appreciate the culture and the things of beauty that the country has produced. I’m reminded of my opportunity to view an ancestor’s metalwork in a Virginia museum.It’s impressive to touch things made by those who came before. We can only build on strengths, not weaknesses. This is a wonderful way to understand where a people has come from as they go to the future. Thank you for posting!

    I remember as a kid. Every kid in the neighborhood collected dyed lucky rabbits feet. ( Not lucky for the rabbit however ) . The more colors collected, the better. Also troll dolls. Naked little things with big smiles. Topped with a tuft of brightly colored cotton like hair. Kids just love to do these weird hobbies. It was just good fun and harmless. Perhaps these Witch bottles. Was what kids back in the day did. To scare off a bully or attract a boyfriend.
