MbiraTab is a new series of mbira transcriptions in tablature notation by B. Michael Williams. Each volume in the series explores four classic mbira tunes in the style of presentation first used in Michael’s 2001 book, Learning Mbira: A Beginning… In essence, this new series picks up where Learning Mbira left off, introducing four completely new tunes in each set in a downloadable format including a PDF text document and MP3 audio examples for each variation.
Volume 4 includes four previously unreleased transcriptions in gandanga/mavembe tuning: Marenje, Dangurangu, Mbavarira, and Vasina Katura Mbiras played on the recordings accompanying this volume are in gandanga/mavembe tuning (approximately Bb).
