“ Madhuweeeee, nyatso kuchema kunge wafirwa . I need to hear the sadness of the little girl you are singing about in your voice.” Mhamha Henry would shout during Mhande rehearsals where I had to lead the song Mudzimu Wangu. I would play around with high and low cries while sing- ing it until she said “yeaaaahhh, that’s it, we are almost there.” The memory of how I learned this song has stuck with me until today. It is one of my favorite songs to sing and dance to. Every
time people hear me sing this song, they are moved which always takes me back to when I learned it. by KANUKAI CHIGAMBA how home remembers me
