Ushamwari Chaiwo - Jenaguru Full Moon Marimba

Written by Jake Roberts as a tribute song to Dr. Dumisani Maraire’s style of marimba arrangement. Jenaguru commissioned mbira player Rhonda Zomba (Ambuya Tembo) in Zimbabwe to create singing lines that expand the theme. They tell of a woman who is comforted by a friend during a time of struggle. Performed at Kutsinhira’s Musangano gathering in Eugene.
