Any folk song presupposes dance, but in Africa, dance is impossible to separate from a song. Music and dance accompany African birth, growing up, initiation, marriage, the birth of children, death, as well as most social activity, such as hunting, planting, and gathering.
Music is often associated in Africa with magic. As the African proverb says: the spirit cannot ascend to heaven without a song.
This educational book will help you begin to play music simply and easily. If you are a beginner, playing by notes can be difficult. It is easier to play the finger piano by following numbers.Learn how to play music in a quick and easy way, without knowledge of reading sheet music.Our sheet music is universal and suitable for any 8-, 10- or 17- note kalimbas and mbiras.
Follow the numbers and begin to play!
Some melodies might have been changed and simplified to be played in the diatonic range. If your thumb piano has flat keys, it is recommended that you use the classic sheet music for piano.Also, we added a QR code to all songs. You can follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.
