In modern terms, the '''kalimba''' is basically a modern Westernized version of the OG [[Zimbabwe]]an instrument, the '''mbira'''. You use your fingers to pluck metal keys.
==In Africa==
Mbira are used for ceremonies, weddings, and other events. Traditionally, two or more mbira are accompanied by shakers called hosho.
==In modern culture==
Introduced outside of Zimbabwe by Hugh Tracey, kalimbas are now renowned for their soothing tone. It even appears in [[Minecraft]]'s OST.
