Chakanaka Chakanaka

This bright, energetic work is inspired by mbira music of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. The music has a way of blurring the lines between a 6/8 feel and a 3/4 feel and mixing melodies together to create a tapestry of sound. The title comes from a Shona proverb that translates to "What's good is good." If you have several percussionists or a second guitar player in your band, this is a chart that allows them all to get involved.
