About

Mufaro Marimba

Mufaro means “joy” in the language spoken by the originators of this amazing music of Zimbabwe.

Mufaro Marimba plays music primarily from Zimbabwe and southern Africa. The music we play is joyous, infectious, fun to play and fun to dance to and to clap along with. There are smiles all around! The musical parts fit together like a puzzle into one wonderful incredible sound.

THE MUSIC….. the exciting, dynamic, poly rhythmic music we play has a long traditional connection in Africa. Many are like the folk songs that we grew up here and we know them almost unconsciously; music is part of everyone’s language, community, souls and culture.

Our instruments are handmade wooden marimbas fashioned after those first made and refined in Zimbabwe around 1960.
The maranka gourd shakers we use are called “hosho” and are an essential part of this music from Zimbabwe.

Dr. Dumisani Maraire, introduced the music to the west coast of North America in the 1970’s and the musical tradition of its own was born in the Pacific Northwest that has spread around the world. We give blessings and thanks for this music!

As we have changed over the years and incorporated a few new sounds, we are blessed with the amazing guitar work of David Morin, a brilliant musician who has been part of Victoria’s best musical bands for decades. His guitar work is now integral to our sound.
