Kalimba 31 Easy To Play African Songs

The kalimba or mbira is a traditional and typical African instrument. It consists of metal keys attached by a wooden support structure. Normally, the African mbira has 4-20 keys, but there also exist mbiras with 45 keys. One of the ethnic groups of people of Zimbabwe, the Rosvi, are called "Mbira people". Any folk song presupposes dance, but in Africa, dance is impossible to separate from a song. Music and dance accompany African birth, growing up, initiation, marriage, the birth of children, death, as well as most social activity, such as hunting, planting and gathering. Music is often associated in Africa with magic. As the African proverb says: "the spirit cannot ascend to heaven without a song".

The kalimba came from Africa, but it is perfectly suitable for any kind of ethnic music. The kalimba has a rather meditative quality since each sound can be observed separately. Mindful observation of playing each note can even induce a trance state in the listener. Although mantras are not typically played on the kalimba, you can have a unique spiritual experience nonetheless. If you love yoga, meditation or are interested in Indian culture, playing mantras will evoke a deep resonance in your heart. Here are 20 Indian mantras adapted for 10 and 17 key kalimbas. All songs are in easily readable diatonic arrangements with number notation. Our aim is to make playing as simple as possible. Even if you don't have any musical background, you will begin to play very fast. We added a QR code to all songs.

This book was created with the intention of assisting absolute beginners, regardless of whether they are children or adults, in learning to play in a straightforward and uncomplicated manner, without requiring any knowledge of reading sheet music. For beginners, playing by following musical notes can be challenging, while it is comparatively easier to follow number-coded circles with corresponding note numbers. In the contemporary context, kalimbas typically feature engraved letters and numbers that represent the notes. The dots positioned above the numbers indicate the next octave. The majority of songs in this songbook utilize eight notes and can be played on a 10 or 17-key kalimba. In African musical traditions, singing is often intertwined with dancing, placing greater emphasis on rhythms rather than melody or harmony. African songs, characterized by their distinct rhythmic patterns, serve as excellent material for musicians of various backgrounds. The primary purpose of this book is not mere reproduction, but to actively engage everyone, as music, by its very definition, involves the expression of emotional states through the use of sounds with specific frequencies and rhythms. While an indication of a song's country of origin is provided, it should be understood that many traditional cultures transcend current national borders. The language in which a song is sung holds more significance and can be utilized in multiple countries. Most songs included in this book have been simplified to accommodate beginners. Since African music often involves improvisation and variation, it is recommended to utilize this sheet music as a guide rather than a rigid framework. The most crucial aspect is to actively listen to and replicate the recordings accessible through the provided QR code.

Follow the letters… and begin to play! Even if you don’t know musical notes, you will confidently be able to play easily using the letter notation!

We call this series “I don’t read music” since we are targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, grandparents. Folk music traditionally is not learned from sheet music or notes. Instead, it is learned by repetition and from being passed from generation to generation. We believe in this method of teaching, which is easier and more enjoyable. This songbook includes 65 familiar and easy-to-play songs and melodies. Most songs have been simplified and transposed for one octave. So the songbook is suitable even for a diatonic 8-note kalimba in C-scale, and 10- or 17-note as well. Since this book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any knowledge of reading music, we do not use here the classical music staff and do not show the note duration. You can experiment with the duration on your own. We recommend finding each of these songs on YouTube and listening to the rhythm before beginning to play. Our sheet music is only a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings. If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow number-coded circles in this songbook. By simply following the numbers, you will sound like an experienced musician.
