Both mbira and marimba are commonly played in Zimbabwe. They are different. Though I do see the similar sounds. It's sort of like how one can play the same song chords with a piano and a guitar.

Thank you! I think the mbira requires similar dexterity to a piano if I'm not mistaken.

Nice! Which country is this and what's the name of the instrument the 2 ladies are playing?

Mine (Zimbabwean ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ผ) is the mbira.

For a feel of the sound: https://youtu.be/R5RMYh-n3LU

Jah Prayzah the guy singing is a renowned musician.

They seem to be using the mbira in modernized covers, but the metal pestle order seem the same as the more traditional looking ones.

P/S I'm not self promoting the YouTube link. It just shows how the mbira sounds unedited.
