Mhare DzeNhare, or “Experts of the Mbira,” is a collective of seven women musicians from Zimbabwe. Its members are Irene Chigamba, Rhoda Dzomba, Tendai Mavengeni, Patience Munjeri, Winnefrider Ndava, Joyce Warikandwa, and Chipo Wazara. As Zimbabwe’s first all-female mbira group, Mhare dzeNhare is opening new paths for women to take up the mbira, an instrument historically played primarily by men.
