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 1 includes Baya Wabaya (eight variations), Kariga Mombe yeKare (“the older version of Kariga Mombe” – four variations), Nyamamusango (seven variations, including a kutsinhira part), and Shumba (five variations, including a kutsinhira part). Background information is provided for each tune, including source material on recordings from various artists. Proceeds go to Erica Azim’s non-profit organization, MBIRA, supporting Zimbabwean musicians and instrument makers.
