In modern terms, the kalimba is basically a modern Westernized version of the OG Zimbabwean instrument, the mbira. You use your fingers to pluck metal keys. Introduced outside of Zimbabwe by Hugh Tracey, kalimbas are now renowned for their soothing tone. It even appears in Minecraft's OST.

The moden kalimba is not the only instrument to be named kalimba. The name was taken from an ancesator of the modern mbira.
