The East Coast Intensive Mbira Workshop Group meets 3 weekends per year for mbira instruction and cameraderie.
Instruction includes traditional mbira playing and singing of the Shona people of Zimbabwe.
Everyone meets together for mbira singing and other full-group activities in the evening. High quality instruments from Zimbabwe are available to workshop participants for loan or purchase. The next meeting of the East Coast group in New Jersey will be 1-3 April 2000. The group meets from 10 am to 11 pm Saturday and Sunday, with optional extra material taught Monday morning for those who can stay. It is still being determined whether the location will be Pine Beach or Jersey City, NJ this time.
