The Shona people of Zimbabwe and neighboring countries play the mbira. Vocals tend to harmonize only in 4ths, 5ths and octaves. The mbira seems to have been traditionally tuned to near-7-edo. In modern times, it's often tuned to 12-edo. Paul Berliner's book "The Soul of the Mbira" is a good resource for tuning information. Well-known Shona musicians that use the mbira include Thomas Mapfumo and Stella Chiweshe. | The Shona people of Zimbabwe and neighboring countries play the mbira.
