Description:

Filmed in the forest of Zavala district, an area now devastated by civil war, this may be the last glimpse of a flourishing musical culture that was first observed by Europeans in the early sixteenth century.~Chopi musicians are famous for their blurring speed on wooden xylophones called Timbila. They are accompanied by beautifully costumed dancers miming the action of warfare and singing of Mozambique's revolutionary history.~This documentary, made by filmmakers who lived in Mozambique, features Shipuni Willeseni, Mozambique's oldest and best Timbila player, talking, teaching and performing, and Mbuziano, a master instrument-maker, constructing a traditional Timbila from specialized woods, reed, gourds, animal membrane and beeswax. <28mn>
