(NØ) loves to tell stories, you know it… With images, words, drawings but also in music… And humming with… Thumbs… Hmm… What a whimsical idea ! But, yes, you can do it using this little music instrument that you can almost carry in the pocket !
This “thumb piano” can be called by different names depending on where you are, known as Mbira or Kalimba in Europe, in Cameroon it is called Sanza, in Uganda they call it Kalimba and in Congo you would play the Likembe. As you figured out, this little wonder comes from Africa.
Plucking the tines with the thumbs will make the music…
