Zimbabwe is a country located in Africa. In the northern part of Zimbabwe are the Victoria Falls — a beautiful set of waterfalls. Locally, Victoria Falls is known as “the smoke of the thunders” because of the noisy water. Zimbabwe is also home to the African instrument known as the mbira, or thumb piano. It’s called a thumb piano because you play it with your thumbs! A traditional mbira has 22-28 metal keys attached to hard wood. Today, you’re going to get to make your own mbira at home!
