Fourth graders, check this out! 5th Graders: take a look at this too (as we learned about Zimbabwean music last year).
Today’s interactive Doodle celebrates Zimbabwe’s national instrument, the mbira, as Zimbabwe’s Culture Week begins. Try your own hand at this instrument that has been played for over 1,000 years, while experiencing a story as told through the lens of a Zimbabwean girl who learns to play the mbira.
Google Doodle today is celebrating Zimbabwe. In one of our last meetings together, a group from UW came to perform and share music from Zimbabwe with us. They played Zimarimbas and Mbiras. Jocelyn and her group taught us a few songs! Guess what?! Jocelyn, our very own visiting artist from back in March, is featured as one of the singers on the Google Doodle. AND, even better, YOU can play it with the Google Doodle you too.
