The kalimba as we know it is a simple diatonic instrument you can instantly play with. It has a cosy, innocent vibe that connects instantly. We have rebuilt the kalimba in a sampler to add our electronic arsenal of lofi EFX. We wanted to automize, chop, pitch, bend, delay and filter the kalimba to its extends without ending up in a loose experimental space. Out came the very chilled tune "colimba“.
But have we got in touch with the original mbira spirit of the instrument's origins rooted in the African Culture? After listening to the original polyphonic and polyrhythmic mbira music we were pretty much surprised and felt delighted to hear how the ancient mbira healing spirit also shines in the context of our music of pianos, guitars and heavy electronic lofi processing.
