Cosmas Magaya photographed by ethnomusicologist Paul Berliner in the 1970s
and a more recent photo with a peek inside the mbira.
Cosmas Magaya is one of the greatest master mbira players of Zimbabwe, a renowned keeper and teacher of deeply spiritual centuries old Shona traditions. He famously collaborated with ethnomusicologist Paul Berliner: He's heard on Berliner's classic Nonesuch Explorer field recording LP Shona Mbira Music and helped Berliner research the equally classic book Soul of Mbira. In Zimbabwe he is leader of the esteemed mbira ensemble Mhuri yekwaMagaya.
This great master is here in New York for series of mbira, percussion and singing workshops and concerts from October 21 to 27.
Cosmas will perform at a house concert in Brooklyn on Sunday from 5-7 pm. For info on this concert and remaining workshops, and to make reservations, email norabalaban AT gmail DOT com.
