Hakurotwi Mude, a deeply spiritual man and a famed world-class singer, straddles the traditional rural and urban modern worlds in this compelling portrait of a Shona musician. Earning a living in the city as an automobile upholstery worker during the workdays, Mude is also the leader of a professional group of Mbira players that performs in a wide range of places and contexts to invoke the spirits when and where they are needed.
