Mbira DzeNharira broke the hearts of their fans when they
split up in 2005. But this year fans saw them playing together again and many thought
the originals were back together.

MaAfrica, Tanganeropa Crispen Mujongondi and Micah Munemo are playing some gigs
at La Rouge in Westgate. But Samaita and Nyamasvisva have poured cold water on
a reunion.
“It’s the mbira that brought us together in the first place
and we have continued doing mbira music in our separate journeys. We came back
together because of the same mbira, so I do not think there should be talk of
separations or reunions. We are all doing it for our culture and tradition,” Samaita
told the Herald.
“These are joint shows that we will be doing here and
there. We are doing separate projects, but we respect fans when they request
that we come together for performances. The frequency of these shows will
depend on response from our fans,” said Nyamasvisva.
