Chemtengure is a traditional African melody, but this is a slightly less traditional rendition of it. This version of the song features traditional instrumentation in the mbira and voice, but the guitar and bass are more modern additions. I picked this song because I enjoy thumb piano music, and I was interested in learning more about the mbira. I am familiar with the kalimba, but I was intrigued by the slight differences in the mbira. I thought that this song did a great job of mixing both traditional African instruments with more modern instruments. The musicians clearly respected the culture and tradition of the song while giving it a new arrangement.
