  With Megan at Mizzou is Patience Munjeri, one of the only acclaimed female mbira players in the world.  She's in the middle of a very long US tour, taking her all over the country as a performer, lecturer, and coach for college ensembles.  It was so interesting to hear of the spiritual aspect of the instrument, as well as some of her personal stories coming of age as a woman who felt called to play the instrument.    We have a slightly different format this week, with two recorded interviews as our content for you all.  With us at JMU is Rob Sanderl, who presented his class on Basel drumming for our students.  You can see the same thing at PASIC! He intentionally focuses more on aspects of playing than of cultural history.  Watch here. Listen below.
